About the Item

This vintage Native American Navajo rug, woven circa the mid-1900s, is a striking example of the famed “Eye Dazzler” pattern, known for its bold, high-contrast geometry and visual intensity. Set against a soft ivory background, the design comes alive with vibrant black, red, and gray motifs that reflect the deep symbolism and cultural heritage of Navajo weaving traditions. Expertly crafted with a flat-woven wool body and likely a cotton foundation, this rug showcases the natural organic dyes traditionally sourced from the land surrounding Navajo communities. Each element of the pattern holds cultural and spiritual meaning, making this more than just a decorative piece—it's a woven story. Previously used as wall art, the rug has a hand-sewn sleeve along the back, allowing for easy hanging with a display rod. Whether you choose to display it on the wall or lay it on the floor, this mid-century Navajo textile offers both beauty and heritage. Perfect for rustic, Southwestern, desert-modern, or culturally-inspired interiors, this rare piece adds authenticity and timeless character to any setting.
