About the Item
This exceptional 19th-century Navajo Germantown rug is a dazzling example of Native American textile art from the late 1800s. Handwoven in a striking Eyedazzler pattern, it features dynamic zigzags and bold geometric motifs rendered in saturated colors—red, green, yellow, black, and white—that command attention.
Crafted by a skilled Diné (Navajo) weaver, this rug is made with Germantown yarns—commercially dyed wool yarns produced in Germantown, Pennsylvania, and introduced to Navajo artisans beginning in the 1860s. These vibrant, finely spun yarns allowed for sharper details and brighter palettes than traditional natural dyes, inspiring Navajo weavers to innovate and explore bold new designs.
Eyedazzler rugs like this one are prized for their optical intensity, cultural significance, and artistic innovation, representing a pivotal moment when traditional Navajo weaving merged with commercial trade influences in the late 19th century.
Ideal for use as a stunning wall hanging, tapestry, statement throw, or accent piece, this versatile textile can be displayed vertically or horizontally to complement any curated interior, gallery, or study.
The Diné (Navajo) are an Indigenous Native American tribe primarily from Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, celebrated worldwide for their sophisticated weaving techniques and rich cultural heritage.
This museum-quality Germantown Eyedazzler rug remains in very good antique condition, making it a coveted piece for collectors and admirers of historic Southwestern art.
