About the Item

77775 Antique Ganado Southwestern style Kilim Rug, 02'11 x 03'11. This beautiful handwoven wool antique Ganado Southwestern style Kilim is a stunning example of Southwestern style craftsmanship, showcasing the vibrant orange-red background that is emblematic of the Ganado style. The rug’s central stepped diamond motif, framed with striking black and ivory outlines, commands attention and serves as the focal point, symbolizing protection and strength. This bold design reflects the influence of Hubbell Trading Post, where the Ganado style originated in the late 19th century. The deep, earthy colors of the Southwestern style Kilim echo the tones of the Southwest landscape, grounding the piece in the natural world from which it was inspired. Surrounding the central motif are smaller diamond patterns in black and white, arranged symmetrically to create a balanced composition. These diamonds, often associated with the "eye" motif in Southwestern style weaving, are symbols of vision and insight. By incorporating this design element, the weaver imbues the Southwestern style Kilim with a sense of watchfulness, as if offering protection to those who possess it. The alternating black and ivory colors of these motifs create a striking contrast against the warm background, drawing the eye across the Ganado rug and adding depth to the design. The stepped edges and layered borders of the central motif are a hallmark of the Ganado style, adding an architectural feel to this woven wonder. These jagged lines may represent the mountains and mesas of the Navajo homeland, connecting the design to the sacred land. The earthy brown and ivory tones used in the borders reflect a respect for the environment, with each color selected to mirror the shades found in the natural landscape. The pattern conveys a sense of movement, echoing the dynamic beauty of the desert terrain that is both harsh and life-giving. An antique Ganado Southwestern style Kilim like this one is more than just a decorative item; it is a cultural artifact that tells the story of the Southwestern style weaving tradition and its deep connection to nature and tradition. Woven with skill and reverence, it carries with it the artistry and resilience of the weavers, who passed down their knowledge from generation to generation. This rug brings warmth and history into any space, serving as a reminder of the rich heritage of Southwestern style weaving and the timeless beauty of the Southwest. Rendered in variegated shades of orange, taupe, light gray, ivory, beige, coffee, and black with other accent colors. Abrash. Desirable Age Wear. Handwoven wool. Made in America.
