Oval Mid-20th Century Handmade American Braided Room Size Carpet
Located in New York, NY
A vintage American Braided oval room size carpet handmade during the mid-20th century.
Measures: 9' 5" x 12' 3"
North American has never developed a unified handmade rug tradition, but rather it is the unassimilated confluence of several. From Mexico comes the Saltillo serape wearing blanket, and this stimulates the Navajo and Rio Grande (Colorado) weavers, first as blankets, then as rugs. The thrifty habits of rural America gave rise to the New England (and Western Canadian) hooked rug types, while the farmers of the Midwest recycled their disused garments into braided and rag rugs.
The closest to a real ongoing tradition are the Southwestern (New Mexican) Navajo rugs. By the 1860’s the native tribes were weaving wearing blankets with wool from the Spanish churro sheep. These were in stripe design, with combinations of undyed wool with cochineal reds and indigo blues. The multi-phase “Chief’s Blankets” from the 1870’s-80’s are a natural outgrowth of these. Machine spun red wool from Germantown in Pennsylvania appeared in the 1870’s with a bright red hitherto unobtainable. The weavers loved it and blankets appeared with bright reds, generally aniline, in “eye dazzler” patterns. Anglo traders established posts beginning in the 1890’s. Navajo weavings were perfect accompaniments not only for Western-themed decors, but for East Coast apartments, only they needed to be thicker and more rug like to be truly accepted. The traders brought Caucasian and Turkish village rugs to copy, borders were introduced and central medallions devised. The weavers continued to create on vertical looms, with a shared warp (dovetailing) weft structure to avoid slits. The warps were cotton string. Sizes were generally scatters, but occasionally a special order came in, hence antique room size Navajos are very rare and very pricey. Distinct village/pueblo styles developed. Among the best are: Two Grey Hills (considered the tightest, closest of all Navajo weaving), Crystal Springs and Ganado. Certain new patterns such as the “Storm pattern” with jagged lightning bolts emanating from a dark cloud developed. The Yei rug with dancing Kachina doll figures became popular. The palette has been expanded beyond the classic grey, tan, dark brown and cream natural wool combination to again include reds, blue and greens. Navajo pictorials include: American flags, trains and automobiles, domestic and local scenes and scenery. Individual artist weavers now command gallery shows and correspondingly elevated prices. There are several levels of Navajo work, and antique and vintage scatters with simple flat designs, medium weaves and tritonal palettes, and in good floor worthy condition are still available reasonably.
The Native American weaving tradition extends into Colorado with two piece scatters with sharp sawtooth medallions and striped end borders, with wool tapestry weave on cotton warps. These descend from the Saltillo blankets...

On the design:
This custom rug sample embodies eco-conscious design and inherent durability of abaca makes this piece a responsible choice for those seeking both beauty and longevity. The design employs a formal quatrefoil structure repeated in perfect quadrants, with each motif constructed from concentric spiral elements of varying diameters. The colorway utilizes the natural palette of abaca fiber—ranging from pale ivory to medium beige and rich chocolate brown—creating subtle chromatic variation. The design achieves visual interest through the interplay of positive and negative space, with the dark espresso ground providing dramatic contrast to the lighter spiral elements.
Each quatrefoil unit contains a central lemon-yellow spiral surrounded by petal-like forms in medium beige, connected by slender ivory bridges...

Unique Corbusier Inspired Tapestry or Carpet from the Brussels Expo '58
By Le Corbusier
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Stunning Mid-Century tapestry or carpet mounted on wood stretcher boards. Inspired by characters in Le Corbusier's seminal 1948 Book 'Modulor', two cubist musicians are pictured in a smoke-filled jazz club. Whimsical and bright, this is the type of play on Modernism that Corbusier himself would have loved, and possibly commissioned. We were actually informed that the tapestry was a part of the '58 Brussels Expo in Belgium, and it is very possible it was made for or in tribute to the French architect who was commissioned to create the Philips Pavilion...

Rug & Kilim’s Scandinavian Style Custom Kilim with Geometric Pattern
By Rug & Kilim
Located in Long Island City, NY
This custom flat weave design is from the Scandinavian Kilim collection by Rug & Kilim. Handwoven in wool and natural yarns, its design reflects a contemporary take on mid-century Rollakans and Swedish Deco style.
On the Design:
This new flat weave reinvents vintage Scandinavian Kilim in ways that both honor the Swedish minimalist aesthetic and modernize its construction. Our use of undyed natural yarns, for example, lends a subtle striae with more of a sense of movement and depth—a nod to Scandinavian technique in a modern fashion. The choice of colors, too, explores their retro feel in a more refreshing quality.
