About the Item
Beautifully preserved early 20th-century Navajo area rug, handwoven in the American Southwest, this piece is a striking example of traditional Navajo craftsmanship. The rug features a bold central medallion design, framed within a harmonious palette of oatmeal, warm brown, soft gray, and rich red, all derived from natural organic dyes.
Executed with fine hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, the rug boasts a high knot density and meticulous flat weave, indicative of the skill and care that went into its creation. The soft oatmeal ground provides a subtle yet elegant backdrop for the sharp, symbolic geometric motifs, which carry deep spiritual and cultural significance within Navajo tradition.
This piece remains in original condition with some wear throughout. As with many Navajo textiles, the balance of color, symbolism, and technique results in a rug that is not only functional, but also highly collectible and decorative, ideally as wall art.
