About the Item

77868 Vintage Wide Ruins Southwestern style Kilim Rug, 02'10 x 04'00. This exquisite Wide Ruins Southwestern style kilim, handwoven with skill and reverence for tradition, embodies the elegance and cultural richness of Southwestern style weaving. Characteristic of the Wide Ruins style, this piece showcases delicate, tightly woven bands in a refined, earthy color palette of grays, soft whites, muted yellows, and gentle browns. The Southwestern style kilim’s pattern consists of finely spaced horizontal bands that are accentuated by subtle geometric shapes, such as diamonds and stepped designs, that flow harmoniously across the piece. These intricate details and nuanced hues reflect the patience and mastery of its creator, resulting in a design that is both understated and deeply sophisticated. The origins of the Wide Ruins style trace back to the mid-20th century in the Wide Ruins area, where weavers began experimenting with vegetal dyes to create unique, soft color palettes. This vintage kilim's palette reflects that tradition of using natural, plant-based dyes, with each shade symbolizing the landscape of the Southwest—from the soft grays of distant mesas to the golden yellows of sunlit canyons. This soft color scheme allows the viewer to experience the serene beauty of the desert, encapsulated in each woven row. The horizontal bands, carefully woven and precisely arranged, are more than decorative—they symbolize the layers of Southwestern style life, echoing the horizon lines of the desert and the passage of time marked by cycles of the sun and moon. The repeating diamond motifs within the bands are emblematic of balance and harmony, central tenets in Southwestern style philosophy, while the stepped designs symbolize mountains, evoking a sense of protection and reverence for the sacred land. Through these motifs, the kilim serves as a narrative, intertwining elements of cosmology and connection to the natural world. This vintage Wide Ruins Southwestern style kilim, with its soft, biophilic tones and rich symbolic meanings, is more than a floor covering—it is a piece of art that speaks to a legacy of storytelling, craftsmanship, and a deep respect for nature. Perfect for adding a touch of Southwestern elegance to any space, this kilim brings not only warmth and texture but also a reminder of the enduring spirit and beauty of Southwestern style traditions. Whether displayed in a minimalist setting or a more rustic environment, this Wide Ruins Southwestern style kilim is sure to be a cherished piece that adds a profound sense of history and culture to its surroundings.

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.
