About the Item

78723 Antique Southwestern Crystal-Style Rug, 02'06 x 05'05. Woven in the early 20th century, this antique Southwestern rug reflects the stylistic influence of the Crystal region, known for producing textiles characterized by balanced geometry, muted natural tones, and a refined sense of rhythm. With its stepped diamonds and cruciform medallions rendered in undyed wool and accented by soft reds and browns, the composition radiates an earthy symmetry that echoes the contours and tonal palette of the Four Corners landscape. At the center of each cruciform motif lies a lozenge form flanked by angular feather-like details—an abstract visual language that suggests symbolic resonance, possibly referencing ideas of direction, prayer, or spiritual ascent. These repeated elements are framed by sharp, serrated outlines that may evoke mountain peaks, lightning paths, or the layered strata of canyon walls. The restrained color palette draws its beauty from the natural world, providing both harmony and contrast. A bold directional border surrounds the central field, composed of inward-pointing arrow motifs that establish rhythm and containment. These black geometric forms frame the composition with strength and clarity, reinforcing the idea of movement and balance within a defined space. The overall structure of the rug suggests a narrative of grounded symmetry—rooted in tradition, yet open to interpretation. While this textile reflects the aesthetic hallmarks associated with the Crystal region, it also speaks to a broader weaving tradition that flourished across the American Southwest in the early 20th century. Whether displayed as a work of art or preserved as a historical artifact, this antique Southwestern kilim rug invites reflection on a design tradition where pattern and meaning intersect in wool, color, and form. It remains a beautiful example of a regional style shaped by both cultural continuity and artistic adaptation. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, dark brown, black coffee, red, taupe, and black with other accent colors. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in America. Measures: 02'06 x 05'05. Date: 1920's. Early 20th Century.
