Vintage American Navajo Saddle Blanket in Stripe Pattern in Ivory, Brown, Red
About the Item
This vintage Native American Indian Navajo saddle blanket, handwoven in the third quarter of the 20th century, features a classic striped design interspersed with alternating bands of intricate geometric motifs. Executed in a timeless palette of brown, black, and gray, the piece reflects the natural earth tones emblematic of Southwestern Navajo artistry.
Woven using traditional flat-weave techniques, the textile is crafted with a wool body and cotton foundation—a hallmark of authentic Navajo workmanship. The muted yet rich coloration is achieved through the use of natural, plant- and mineral-based dyes, responsibly sourced from the weavers' surrounding environment.
The geometric elements found throughout the rug are not merely decorative; they often carry spiritual and symbolic meanings, deeply rooted in Navajo cultural and ceremonial traditions. Though originally intended for use as a saddle blanket, this piece serves equally well as a floor covering or tapestry wall art, offering versatility and visual impact.
A striking example of mid-century Native American weaving, this textile will elevate any collection or interior with its quiet elegance and cultural depth.
