About the Item
78792 Vintage Rio Grande Chimayo Rug Banded Blanket, 03'00 x 05'04. This handwoven wool vintage Rio Grande Chimayó rug is a masterful convergence of tradition and expressive artistry—a bold, high-desert textile woven not just for use, but for legacy. Rooted in the historic banded blanket tradition of Northern New Mexico, this rare piece captures the spirit of the Rio Grande weaving revival with electrifying color and rhythmic precision. Its vibrant palette of indigo, cobalt, cardinal red, violet, ivory, and obsidian black creates a dynamic interplay that evokes both the natural drama of the Southwest and the enduring ingenuity of its weavers.
The composition is structured around diagonal serrated bars, woven in bold color blocks that punctuate a field of layered horizontal stripes. These cascading bands—each meticulously spaced and thoughtfully juxtaposed—recall both the architectural repetition of early Saltillo designs and the modernist tendencies that flourished during mid-century Southwestern revival movements. The result is a piece that is both rooted in heritage and elevated by creative risk, offering the viewer not only visual delight but a window into evolving cultural identity.
Woven in the Chimayó region, where multi-generational weavers like the Ortegas and Trujillos have preserved and reinterpreted Rio Grande techniques for centuries, this piece exemplifies the art of slow luxury. Its wool, hand-dyed and tightly loomed, is soft yet durable, ensuring the textile’s functional legacy matches its aesthetic power. Created during a period of cultural resurgence, in the Mid-20th Century, this exquisite masterpiece speaks to a time when artists returned to ancestral forms with new energy, infusing the traditional with contemporary resonance.
For the discerning collector or visionary interior designer, this Chimayó banded blanket rug offers more than rarity—it delivers status through story. Whether displayed as a wall-hung textile, grounded in a curated modern-rustic home, or layered in a luxe retreat, this extraordinary work of art carries the prestige of regional artistry and the weight of history reimagined. A true connoisseur’s piece, it invites you to live with—and through—heritage, color, and craft.
Rendered in variegated shades of sky blue, royal blue, navy blue, red, ivory, black, and violet-blue with other analogous colors.
