About the Item
78939 Rare Antique Chinle Southwest Modern Rug, 02'11 x 04'11. This exquisite handwoven wool antique Southwest rug, woven in the Chinle region of Arizona, is a rare and radiant expression of early 20th-century Indigenous textile artistry. With its elegantly banded layout and a symphony of soft desert hues—sun-washed apricot, silvery sage, ivory, and golden maize—this piece captures the serene beauty of canyon landscapes at dusk. Each horizontal motif evokes the gentle strata of sandstone cliffs, layered with ancestral memory and sacred geometry.
At the heart of its design, diamond bands rhythmically unfurl across the field, each edged with delicately stepped contours that suggest both movement and stillness—a woven metaphor for the balance between tradition and the ever-flowing cycles of the natural world. The dreamlike color palette, derived from vegetal and hand-dyed wool, lends the textile a luminous quality—earthbound yet ethereal, humble yet inherently regal. This rare harmony of color and pattern is a signature of Chinle regional weavings, prized by collectors for their refined symmetry and poetic restraint.
This antique textile is not merely a decorative object—it is a cultural heirloom imbued with symbolic value and ethical provenance. The flatwoven construction, lightweight yet enduring, speaks to utilitarian elegance, while the composition itself channels the weaver’s intimate dialogue with land, spirit, and lineage. Its scarcity lies not only in its age or condition, but in the vanishing number of such works preserved with this level of integrity and finesse.
To acquire this extraordinary work of art is to align with a higher standard of curation—one rooted in social good and the respectful appreciation of Indigenous artistic traditions. This rug embodies exclusivity not through opulence, but through authenticity: a one-of-a-kind artifact that elevates space and conscience alike. Whether displayed as a floor covering or mounted as textile art, it offers a rare opportunity to live alongside a storied legacy of resilience, craftsmanship, and understated beauty.
Rendered in variegated shades of gold, beige, dusty rose, gray and tan with other soft colors.
