About the Item

This exquisite circa 1920s Navajo (Diné) Crystal Trading Post rug is a superb example of early 20th-century Southwestern textile artistry. Handwoven from high-quality native wool, the rug features a dynamic blend of natural and aniline dyes, creating a rich color palette of deep reds, warm browns, and crisp whites. These hues are masterfully arranged in bold geometric patterns, characteristic of the Crystal Trading Post style—a fusion of traditional Navajo weaving techniques with regional design influences promoted by early trading posts. Measuring an impressive 88 x 49 inches, this rug commands attention whether used as a floor covering, wall hanging, or centerpiece in a curated collection. The tight weave and clean lines reflect the exceptional skill of the Diné weaver, while the enduring vibrancy of the dyes speaks to the care and quality of its creation.
