1910's Southwestern-Style Crystal Kilim Carpet

About the Item

78322 Distressed Antique Crystal Navajo-Style Rug, 04'06 x 06'06. This distressed antique handwoven wool kilim is a captivating example of early 20th-century Southwestern weaving, influenced by the Crystal regional style that flourished under the guidance of trading post owner J.B. Moore. Celebrated for its bold use of geometry, earthy palettes, and creative layouts, the Crystal-inspired tradition bridged classic Indigenous design with modern innovation—an era that encouraged weavers to explore new artistic expressions while honoring ancestral motifs. At the heart of the composition, a monumental double diamond motif commands the field, its stepped and layered forms echoing themes of balance, unity, and spiritual grounding. This central symbol, framed by nested diamonds, mirrors the interconnectedness of life and the sacred directions—a concept integral to many Native American-inspired worldviews. The serrated edges of the medallions evoke lightning—an emblem of divine energy and protection—infusing the textile with movement and power. Surrounding the field, a series of arrow-like motifs stretch in alternating directions, offering a sense of movement, purpose, and symbolic guidance. In many Southwestern weaving traditions, arrows represent protection, direction, and life’s journey—possibly reflecting the weaver’s intent to bestow these blessings upon the space it occupies. Interspersed among them are stylized red bow motifs, which may signify unity, harmony, or good fortune—extending a quiet invitation for wellbeing and connectedness. This antique Crystal-inspired kilim is more than a textile—it is a woven narrative of tradition, transformation, and reverence for the natural world. Rendered in variegated shades of red, soft brown, gray, and black, the palette evokes the mesa cliffs, volcanic soils, and twilight shadows of the high desert. A tactile expression of cultural storytelling and regional identity, this rug offers both visual power and spiritual warmth—an enduring testament to the artistry and symbolism embedded in early Southwestern weaving.
