Early 20th Century Navajo Rug

About the Item

This early 20th century Navajo rug is a striking example of Indigenous textile artistry—woven with natural wool in a bold, graphic composition that feels at once timeless and modern. The central field, composed of soft abrash grays and browns, is anchored by three dramatic horizontal stripes made of white, crimson, and dark brown wool triangles, each pointing toward the center with quiet intensity. Matching bands of color at each end create balance, while the sides are defined by exaggerated zigzag patterns in dark brown and white, running the full length of the rug like lightning bolts. Woven by a Diné (Navajo) weaver in the American Southwest, likely from the Four Corners region, this rug speaks to the enduring traditions of Navajo design—where geometry, balance, and the natural beauty of hand-dyed wool are paramount. Rich in visual rhythm and historical significance, it brings both a grounding presence and an undeniable energy to any room.
