About the Item
This vintage Navajo double saddle blanket, woven in the early 20th century (likely the 1920s), is a stunning example of traditional Navajo weaving. Crafted from native handspun wool, the blanket features a blend of natural fleece colors including ivory (white), with aniline-dyed yellow, orange, and black accents. These vibrant colors create a bold yet balanced design, reflective of the rich Southwestern textile tradition.
The blanket’s unique split design adds a distinctive element to its artistry. One half of the blanket showcases four stylized Maltese cross motifs at each corner, while the other half features four checkerboard elements, all set against a variegated ivory ground. This intricate, symmetrical pattern exemplifies the craftsmanship of the Diné (Navajo) people, an Indigenous Native American group native to the Southwestern United States, particularly Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.
This versatile textile is perfect for use as a wall hanging, where it can be displayed both vertically or horizontally to complement any room. It also makes an ideal bed covering or furniture throw, adding a touch of authentic Native American artistry to any space.
In very good condition, this Navajo saddle blanket is a collectible piece of history and craftsmanship. For further details on its condition, please contact us for a comprehensive report. Whether you're a collector of Native American textiles or simply seeking a unique and striking piece for your home, this vintage Navajo blanket is a timeless treasure.
