About the Item
77869 Vintage Chinle Southwestern style Kilim, 03'00 x 04'05. Woven amidst the red sandstone mesas and windswept piñon groves of northeastern Arizona, this handwoven wool Chinle Southwestern style kilim emerges from the heart of the 1930s–1940s weaving revival—a luminous expression of balance, movement, and sacred geometry. Inspired by the Chinle region near the mouth of Canyon de Chelly, this textile diverges from the medallion styles of Ganado and Crystal, embracing a rhythmic banded composition that flows with composure and harmony. The weaver’s hand, guided by ancestral motifs and personal creativity, has brought forth a field of serrated diamond motifs repeating across a soft gray ground like a visual song sung in stillness. The field is adorned with stacked rows of concentric diamonds—some golden ochre, others rust red, ivory, or deep black—all radiating with internal cadence. Between each row of diamonds float flared crosses or “spirit motifs,” woven in ivory and suspended like prayers drifting across a river of gray. The play between negative space and bold geometry generates a vibrant motion, evoking the layered mesas and cloud-shadowed plateaus of the Southwest. Every element pulses with meaning, woven with a quiet authority that speaks to protection, continuity, and sacred balance. Framing the composition is a bold “picket-fence” border, rendered in alternating black and ivory bars—a defining motif of Chinle regional rugs from this period. More than a visual boundary, this motif suggests guardianship and symbolic enclosure, demarcating a space of vision and spiritual integrity. The kilim’s tight weave and exacting symmetry reflect the artisan’s skill, while its vegetal and early synthetic dyes signal a transitional moment in Southwestern weaving—one where innovation met tradition without dilution of purpose. In the world of interior design, this Chinle Southwestern style kilim is a masterwork of Southwestern modernism. Its linear precision and earth-toned palette pair effortlessly with Contemporary Santa Fe interiors, Wabi-Sabi aesthetics, or adobe-inspired minimalism. Whether layered beneath timber beams, stretched across stone floors, or displayed as a statement tapestry in a serene retreat, it brings depth, heritage, and a tactile elegance to the space. As both cultural artifact and visual poetry, it invites presence—a woven echo of land, motion, and enduring storytelling in thread. Rendered in variegated shades of gray, brown, black, beige, and charcoal with other accent colors. Desirable Age Wear. Abrash. Hand-woven wool. Made in the United States of America. Measures: 03'00 x 04'05.

Vintage Navajo Wool Rug with Wide Band Pattern in Ivory, Rust, Purple & Yellow
Located in Barrington, IL
This vintage Navajo area rug, handwoven in the late 20th century, is a striking example of Native American textile artistry, showcasing a distinctive wide band pattern in an earthy yet vibrant palette of ivory, rust, purple, and yellow. The composition blends traditional symbolism with bold visual rhythm, reflecting the enduring cultural and spiritual heritage of the Navajo Nation.
Crafted using time-honored flat-weave techniques, the rug features a wool body on a cotton foundation, a hallmark of authentic Navajo weaving. The geometric design elements are not merely decorative—they often carry deep spiritual and cultural significance, passed down through generations of Navajo artisans.
Dyes are traditionally sourced from the natural environment surrounding the tribal lands, resulting in richly nuanced colors achieved through plant-based and mineral pigments. This thoughtful use of natural materials enhances both the beauty and integrity of the piece.
Highly collectible and visually compelling, this rug serves equally well as a statement floor covering or as a wall-mounted textile in a curated interior. It is an exceptional addition for collectors, designers, and admirers of indigenous American craftsmanship and Southwestern design.
