Curated Collection of Authentic 19th and The Early 20th Century Fine Handwoven Rugs, Tapestries and Textiles From Around the World

$3,900.00

An exceptionally rare square-format Navajo rug, handwoven in the Southwestern United States during the third quarter of the 20th century, this vintage textile is a superb example of Native American weaving and Southwestern design heritage.

Its striking composition features a dazzling, eye-catching pattern rendered in horizontal rows, each separated by solid bands for dramatic visual rhythm. The rug's field showcases a beautifully balanced palette of classic earth-tone Southwestern colors—including ivory, indigo blue, yellow, and rust—infused with rich cultural symbolism and geometric precision.

Crafted using traditional flat-weave techniques, this piece is woven with a wool body on a cotton foundation, characteristic of authentic Navajo rugs. The dyes are believed to be derived from natural, organic sources native to the weavers' tribal lands, contributing to the depth and warmth of the color palette.

Designs in Navajo rugs are more than ornamental—they are expressions of spiritual beliefs, cosmology, and cultural storytelling passed through generations of master artisans. The rare square shape enhances the piece’s desirability, offering unique versatility for use as a statement floor covering or textile wall art in thoughtfully curated spaces.

This rug is ideal for collectors, interior designers, and enthusiasts of indigenous American craftsmanship, representing both artistic mastery and cultural legacy.
