Large 1930s Navajo Rug, Handwoven Southwestern Geometric Tribal Design

About the Item

This large vintage Navajo area rug was handwoven in the 1930s by a Diné (Navajo) weaver and originates from the historic Hubbell Trading Post in Ganado, Arizona—an important center of Navajo textile artistry in the Southwestern United States. Crafted from native hand-spun wool, the rug showcases a striking color palette of natural fleece tones—brown, black, ivory, white, and gray—accented with aniline-dyed red. The geometric design reflects traditional Navajo aesthetics, blending bold patterns with subtle earth tones. This authentic Navajo weaving is not only a beautiful example of early 20th-century Southwestern textile art but also a versatile piece suitable for use as an area rug or a dramatic wall hanging. The Diné (Navajo) are an Indigenous people native to the Southwestern United States, renowned for their sophisticated weaving traditions passed down through generations. This textile is in very good vintage condition, retaining its original vibrancy and structure.
