About the Item
Navajo Rug — A Piece of American History!
Proud to share this beautiful circa 1920 Navajo rug, a stunning example of early 20th-century Native American weaving. Hand-woven on a traditional upright loom, this piece carries the unmistakable artistry and cultural heritage of the Navajo Nation.
Featuring bold geometric diamond motifs, stepped edges, and a vibrant red field contrasted with natural wool tones, this rug reflects the transition period in Navajo textile design—when weavers blended traditional patterns with evolving aesthetic influences from the early trading-post era. The outer Greek-key style border and symbolic elements throughout the field further highlight the creativity and technical mastery of the weaver.
Rugs from this era were crafted using hand-spun wool and native dyes, making each piece unique. By the 1920s, Navajo rugs had become highly sought-after by collectors and traders, valued not just as functional textiles but as true works of art.
This piece, approximately 5’ x 9’2", embodies over a century of history and craftsmanship. Whether displayed as wall art or used in a living space, it brings both cultural significance and timeless beauty to any collection.
If you appreciate historic textiles or the traditions of Indigenous American art, this rug is a remarkable and authentic treasure from the past.
