About the Item

19th Century Transitional Period American Navajo Blanket ( 5'5" x 7'2"-165 x 218 ) 19th Century Transitional Period Navajo Carpet Circa 1880 Wool Flat Weave USA Dimensions: 5'5" × 7'2" (165 × 218 cm) This exceptional 19th century Transitional Period Navajo carpet exemplifies the artistry and innovation of Navajo weaving during the late 1800s. Woven from hand-spun wool, the piece features a striking multi-colored zigzag chevron pattern in vivid tones of orange, yellow, red, beige, and grey, framed by a bold orange border. The Transitional period (circa 1865–1895) was a time of great experimentation in Navajo textiles, bridging the traditions of Classic Period wearing blankets and the later rug-weaving era influenced by trading post demands. This piece showcases that evolution—its large scale and bold graphic design highlight both cultural heritage and adaptability to new markets. The flat weave construction ensures durability, while the vibrant palette gives this textile a modern, timeless aesthetic, making it as relevant for today’s interiors as it was in the 19th century. Whether displayed on the floor or as a wall-hanging textile artwork, it brings extraordinary authenticity and presence to any space.
