About the Item

77275 Rare Antique Two Grey Hills-Inspired Southwest Modern Rug, 05'08 x 10'00. This handwoven wool antique textile from the American Southwest, attributed to the celebrated regional weaving tradition associated with the Two Grey Hills area, is an exceptional embodiment of heritage, prestige, and artisanal mastery. With its bold symmetry and neutral elegance, this rare flatwoven rug transcends the decorative to become a statement of cultural connoisseurship and refined taste. Rendered in a luxurious palette of undyed natural wools—black, ivory, taupe, and soft golden camel—its graphic composition reveals a complex visual language shaped by centuries of weaving expertise. At the heart of this exquisite work of art lies a commanding diamond medallion encased in concentric motifs, framed by the signature serrated stepped edges and mirrored geometric forms. Angular arrows, celestial stars, and tiered pyramidal symbols orbit the central medallion in a visual rhythm that recalls sacred balance and cosmological order. Every design element is articulated with impeccable precision and purpose, reflecting the weaver’s deep knowledge of both technical structure and symbolic storytelling. The strong contrast and fine detail offer a dramatic interplay between light and shadow, making this exclusive masterpiece a visually arresting centerpiece for the discerning collector. The extraordinary border—anchored by a continuous zigzag fret pattern in high-contrast black and ivory—forms a bold architectural frame, reinforcing the design’s inner strength and coherence. This softly structured framework, reminiscent of ancient motifs found across Indigenous art forms, guides the eye inward while grounding the piece in timeless tradition. The restraint of color allows the intricacy of the weave to shine, showcasing the artisan’s ability to achieve both refinement and graphic power without the use of dyes—an achievement that elevates this coveted textile to museum-quality status. Acquiring such a precious piece is not merely a decorative decision—it is a meaningful investment in cultural preservation, ethical artistry, and curatorial prestige. Textiles of this elusive heirloom and provenance are increasingly scarce, especially in larger gallery dimensions, making this a rare opportunity to own a legacy of American textile history. Whether hung on a wall as a work of art or laid in a space of thoughtful design, this antique weaving offers not only visual richness but also a tangible connection to the enduring spirit of place, purpose, and artistic excellence. Rendered in variegated shades of black, dark gray, gray, light gray, camel, taupe, tan, ecru, and beige with other accent colors. This piece has some holes throughout. Distressed. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Made in America. Handwoven wool. Measures: 05'08 x 10'00. Date: 1900's. Early 20th Century.
