About the Item

78793 Vintage Rio Grande Chimayo Rug Banded Blanket, 04'03 x 05'08. This exceptional handwoven wool vintage Rio Grande Chimayó rug, a rare example of the banded blanket tradition, is an artifact of quiet grandeur—an heirloom woven with intention, regional pride, and artisanal mastery. Rooted in the enduring legacy of Hispanic weaving in Northern New Mexico, this piece is a sophisticated expression of heritage minimalism, where rhythm, texture, and earthy tonality converge to create a timeless textile that feels at once historic and profoundly modern. The rug’s elegant composition is defined by the horizontal bands in graduated shades of espresso, mesquite, adobe, and ash, gently punctuated by whisper-thin lines of ember red. These signature stripes—neither uniform nor overly decorative—reveal a practiced hand and a deep knowledge of natural wool hues. The visual cadence of the bands mimics the undulating ridgelines and layered skies of the New Mexican landscape. This is not a textile vying for attention, but one that radiates confidence through restraint, making it the ideal centerpiece for a cultivated, art-forward interior. Woven using hand-dyed and naturally colored wool, this exquisite work of art carries the ancestral DNA of the early Rio Grande sarapes—textiles originally intended for both utility and elegance. Its medium weight and flatweave construction speak to a tradition of practicality elevated to the realm of fine art. Pieces like this were not mass-produced; they were woven by artisans who understood the symbolic value of repetition, balance, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow across woolen threads. For collectors of folk art, historic textiles, or modern rustic interiors, this exclusive masterpiece offers an unmatched blend of provenance, purity, and prestige. It serves as both a grounding visual element and a tactile testament to a culture that continues to thrive through craft. Whether displayed as a floor covering, bed blanket, or sculptural wall piece, this precious vintage Rio Grande Chimayó rug offers something rare: a luxury that’s rooted in story, sustainability, and soul. Rendered in variegated shades of gray, taupe, brown, greige, light gray, and red with other neutral colors. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in America. Measures: 04'03 x 05'08. Date: 1950s. Mid-20th Century.
