Mid-20th Century Handmade American Rag Rug
Located in New York, NY
A vintage American rag rug handmade during the mid-20th century.
Measures: 3' 6" x 5' 8"
North American rugs & carpets:
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 1860s 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 1870s-80s are a natural outgrowth of these. Machine spun red wool from Germantown in Pennsylvania appeared in the 1870s 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 1890s. 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, blues, 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...

Navajo rugs made from the Crystal area are known for their soft, beautiful, muted earth tones achieved by vegetal dyes. Some colors you can expect from these natural rugs are tan, grey, white, brown, orange, red and yellow. Geometric patterns are usually the focus of these Crystal rugs which are handwoven. The rugs come in a variety of sizes from under four feet to over seven feet long. Though inspired by J.B. Moore more than 100 years ago, by the 1940's, the Crystal style changed with the times.

Vintage Native American Navajo Storm Pattern Area Rug in Gray, Ivory, Red, Black
Located in Barrington, IL
An exceptional example of early 20th-century Native American textile art, this finely woven Navajo rug—circa 1920–1930—features the iconic Storm Pattern, a design rich with spiritual and cultural symbolism. Originating from the American Southwest, this piece reflects the high artistry of one of the most respected Navajo weaving families, celebrated for their technical mastery and innovative color work.
Woven in wool with a likely cotton foundation, this flat-weave rug presents a refined and balanced palette of soft gray, deep black, ivory, and bold red. The Storm Warrior motif is rendered with remarkable clarity and symmetry, imbuing the rug with a strong visual rhythm and narrative depth. The interplay of color and form creates a powerful presence, making it a standout piece for collectors and connoisseurs of Indigenous American art.
Natural, plant- and mineral-based dyes lend authenticity and subtle tonal variation, in keeping with traditional Navajo practices that emphasize harmony with the surrounding landscape. The geometric designs—more than mere decoration—carry profound cultural and spiritual meanings, often relating to protection, life paths, and the interconnectedness of nature.
This rug is not only a decorative statement but a museum-quality artifact that honors the legacy of Navajo weaving and the enduring strength of Indigenous craftsmanship.
Dimensions: 3’ 8” x 5’ 11”
