About the Item

Early 20th Century Navajo rug 5'8"x 7'10" - 173 x 239 This exceptional mid-century textile captures the powerful, graphic aesthetic of Southwestern weaving traditions. Its narrow, elongated format makes it an ideal small scatter size piece, perfect for hallways, entryways, or layering within a larger space. The palette is remarkably bold, centered on a deep, saturated vibrant yellow hue that immediately draws the eye. This warmth is expertly contrasted by sharp, angular motifs rendered in charcoal black, cool gray, and earthy brown, lending the composition a grounded yet electric energy. The design features a highly articulated, serrated diamond lattice that repeats vertically across the field, creating a dynamic sense of movement. This powerful, repeating structure is characteristic of an allover geometric design often seen in the most compelling examples of Navajo weaving from this period, showcasing masterful execution in the wool medium. Woven entirely in wool, this piece offers both durability and a wonderful tactile quality. Representing the enduring appeal of Native American folk art and textile history, this selection of vintage area rugs provides a striking focal point for modern or rustic interiors alike, offering a genuine connection to mid-century design.
