About the Item
1940s American Navajo Twill Saddle Blanket Carpet ( 3' x 5'6" - 92 x 167 cm )
Antique Navajo American Multicolor 1940s Rug, Circa Date: 1940s. This exceptional piece of Americana represents the pinnacle of Southwestern weaving tradition, offering a sophisticated geometric study rarely found among antique rugs of this era. The tight, hand-spun wool construction speaks eloquently to the dedication and skill of the weaver, emphasizing durability and historical authenticity.
The design employs a striking, tightly interlocking diamond motif that repeats seamlessly across the entire field. This highly disciplined structure creates a powerful visual texture, distinguishing it as a true example of allover rugs, where the pattern dictates the entirety of the composition rather than relying on defined borders or central medallions.
While categorized under multicolor jewel tone rugs due to its historical designation, the palette is masterfully restrained, utilizing a high-contrast pairing of deep charcoal and natural, undyed ivory wool. This monochromatic scheme lends the piece a profound modernity and versatility, allowing the intricate, tactile texture of the weave to remain the primary focus.
Woven to a practical scale, this textile is ideally suited for use as one of the finest examples of small scatter size rugs. Its durable, flatweave structure makes it suitable for high-traffic areas, serving as an anchor piece in a minimalist interior or providing an authentic, textural counterpoint in a richly layered space.

Vintage Native American Indian Navajo Saddle Blanket in Red, Brown
Caramel
Located in Barrington, IL
This vintage Navajo saddle blanket, handwoven in the mid-20th century, features a distinctive wide band pattern in warm, earthy hues of red, brown, and caramel, beautifully set against a soft taupe background. The design, reminiscent of traditional Navajo Corn Husk bags, reflects the enduring artistry and symbolic expression central to Navajo weaving traditions.
Crafted using the classic flat-weave technique, the piece is made from wool on a cotton foundation—an authentic construction method characteristic of Navajo textiles. The weavers employed natural, plant- and mineral-based dyes, sourced from their surrounding environment, to achieve the rich, organic color palette.
The banded geometric pattern is both visually balanced and culturally meaningful, with design elements often rooted in spiritual symbolism and tribal storytelling. Originally intended as a saddle blanket, this textile easily transitions into a decorative floor covering or wall-mounted art piece, making it a versatile addition to any collector’s or designer’s curated space.
Ideal for admirers of Native American craftsmanship, Southwestern aesthetics, and heritage textiles, this rug is a beautifully preserved representation of indigenous American artistry.
