A striking example of mid-century Native American textile artistry, this vintage Navajo rug features the iconic “Eye Dazzler” pattern, renowned for its bold, hypnotic geometry and powerful visual rhythm. Handwoven during the mid-1900s, this piece showcases a dynamic interplay of natural earth tones, including brown, black, and gray, derived from organic dyes sourced from the weavers' Southwestern environment.
Crafted using traditional flat-weave techniques, the rug features a wool body with a cotton foundation—a hallmark of authentic Navajo craftsmanship. The vivid geometric motifs are deeply symbolic, often carrying spiritual and cultural significance passed down through generations.
While functional as a floor covering, this rug also makes a dramatic statement when used as textile wall art, adding movement, history, and soul to any space. The Eye Dazzler design, with its kaleidoscopic energy, is especially prized among collectors and admirers of indigenous American weaving.
