About the Item

78747 Antique Ganado Navajo-Style Kilim, 02'10 x 05'00. Handcrafted in the Ganado region of northeastern Arizona, Ganado Navajo-style kilims are woven using locally obtained wool, traditionally from Navajo-Churro sheep known for their strength and distinctive fiber. These kilims are celebrated for their striking geometric patterns and vivid color palettes, particularly the rich reds historically derived from cochineal dye. The designs often feature intricate diamond forms and stepped motifs, masterfully executed using the tapestry weaving technique on vertical looms—a hallmark of the Navajo-style weaving tradition. Available in a variety of sizes, from compact decorative accents to large-format floor coverings, these Navajo-style kilims are revered for their cultural resonance, lasting durability, and artistic precision. Their balanced compositions and symbolic motifs reflect a deep-rooted connection to the natural world and a centuries-old legacy of storytelling through fiber. Highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts alike, Ganado Navajo-style kilims offer a timeless blend of functionality and visual poetry that honors both heritage and innovation.

81021 Southwestern Navajo-Style Rug with Storm Pattern, 09'00 x 11'07. Enter the serene convergence of Native American design aesthetics, where the Shibui philosophy gracefully melds with the seamless fusion of Southwestern and Desert Modern styles in this meticulously handwoven Navajo-inspired rug. The Storm Pattern, a design rooted between 1897 and 1911 at the Crystal Trading Post, captures the essence of rainstorms through its central rectangle, diagonal lightning bolts, and zig-zag lines—an homage to the vibrancy of the growing season. In this distinctive Navajo-style rug, the dynamic interplay of contemporary Santa Fe elements and Southwestern eclecticism commands attention. Adorned with a palette of organic earthy hues, it unfolds a narrative resonating with understated warmth, sophistication, and rustic charm against an abrashed gray backdrop. A small square becomes the focal point, with stepped lines gracefully extending towards each corner. Stepped diamonds, cross motifs, triangles, and geometric shapes further enrich the composition, creating a visual symphony. The clean lines and earth-tone colors form a captivating juxtaposition within the geometric design, embodying the Shibui principle of simple, subtle beauty. Encased by a sleek black...
