About the Item

78627 Late 19th Century Antique Eye Dazzler Southwestern-Style Kilim Rug, 01'06 x 03'02. Woven during the transformative era of the late 19th century, this antique Eye Dazzler sampler rug captures the dynamic visual language that emerged from the American Southwest during a pivotal moment in textile history. Characterized by its bold geometry and electrifying color palette, this handwoven wool textile reflects the aesthetic hallmarks associated with the period often referred to as the Transitional Era—a time when weavers shifted from utilitarian blankets toward more complex decorative compositions suited for floor and display use. The composition pulses with rhythmic chevrons and serrated diamonds, forming a visual field alive with motion and symmetry. Rendered in vibrant vegetal reds, charcoal black, slate gray, and earthen orange tones, the motifs stand in luminous contrast to a creamy undyed ground. These colors, likely achieved through a combination of natural and early synthetic dyes, recall the rich tonal variation of high desert terrain—where shadow and sunlight collide across mesas and cliff faces. Narrow accent bands in crimson and dark green create intervals of grounding repetition, enhancing the rug’s visual cadence and compositional clarity. Divided into four distinct mirrored panels, each block radiates with jagged forms and central diamonds, evoking directional movement and symbolic balance. This structural division may reference the sacred resonance of the number four—often associated with directions, seasons, and elements in the cosmology of the greater Southwest. While the motifs are abstract, their repetition and alignment suggest ritual meaning, drawing on traditions that express harmony between earth and sky, chaos and order, movement and stillness. As an artifact of its time, this Eye Dazzler sampler rug stands at the crossroads of innovation and continuity. It speaks to a weaving tradition in evolution, shaped by both longstanding cultural motifs and new access to vibrant commercial yarns and expanded markets. With its bold execution and measured symmetry, this textile is a visual testament to regional craftsmanship and the expressive possibilities of wool and loom. Today, it endures as a captivating example of Southwestern textile artistry from a period of profound transition and creative expansion. Rendered in variegated shades of beige, orange, red, gray, black, brown, and green with other neutral colors. Abrash. Handwoven wool. Made in America. Measures: 01'06 x 03'02. Date: 1890's.
