1910's Navajo-Style Carpet with Southwest Modern Style

About the Item

78752 Antique Transitional Navajo-Style Kilim, 02'01 x 03'05. Transitional Navajo-style kilims, woven during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mark a period of cultural change influenced by increased contact with Euro-American settlers and traders. These kilims blend traditional Navajo-inspired design elements with new motifs, incorporating a broader color palette thanks to commercially produced aniline dyes. They often feature commercially spun yarns obtained through trading posts, allowing for increased complexity and experimentation in weaving techniques. Influenced by traders, transitional Navajo-style kilims exhibit intricate patterns, varied shapes, and a higher level of weaving skill compared to earlier weavings, reflecting the adaptability and creativity of Navajo-style artisans amidst shifting cultural and economic landscapes. Today, they are prized for their historical significance and artistic merit, serving as enduring testaments to both resilience and innovation in Native American-inspired textile traditions. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in America. Measures: 02'01 x 03'05. Date: 1910s. Early 20th Century.
