About the Item
This vintage Navajo rug, woven circa 1920s–1930s during the Trading Post Era, is a striking example of Diné (Navajo) textile artistry from the pan-reservation period. Handwoven by a Navajo weaver using native hand-spun wool, the rug features a bold diamond pattern—an iconic motif in Southwestern design.
The color palette combines natural fleece tones of brown-black, gray-brown, and ivory (white), beautifully accented with aniline-dyed red. These rich earth tones and vibrant red create strong visual contrast and highlight the geometric symmetry of the weaving.
This versatile textile is well-suited for display as a wall hanging, used on the floor as an area rug, or styled as a bed covering or decorative furniture throw. Its durability and aesthetic appeal make it an ideal addition to both traditional and modern interiors.
The Diné (Navajo) people are an Indigenous Native American tribal group whose ancestral homelands span the Southwestern United States, including present-day Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Renowned for their masterful weaving techniques and deep cultural traditions, Navajo rugs from this era are highly sought after by collectors and interior designers alike.
A beautiful and authentic piece of early 20th-century Southwestern craftsmanship, this rug remains in very good vintage condition.
