What is a Navajo blanket called?

Navajo blankets are also known as “chief’s blankets”. They were referred to as such because in the days of trading, the blankets were so expensive that only the chiefs could afford them. You’ll find a variety of chief blankets from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.

Why are Navajo blankets worth so much?

Navajo blankets are worth so much because they're extremely rare; only 50 of these first-phase blankets, which Ute Indians made until roughly 1865, survive today.

How can I tell if a Navajo blanket or rug is real?

To tell if a Navajo blanket or rug is real, examine the ends. On an authentic rug or blanket, the weaving is continuous. If the ends of the yarns appear tucked in, the item is not continuous and unlikely to be authentic. Find a range of expertly vetted Navajo blankets and rugs on 1stDibs.
