Navajo 1960

An exceptional example of Native American craftsmanship, this vintage Navajo rug dates to the late 20th century and features a sophisticated palette of ivory, gray, brown, and black. Woven by hand using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this piece reflects the cultural and artistic heritage of the Navajo people.

Finely constructed in a flat weave, the rug is composed of soft, durable wool with a cotton warp—characteristic of authentic Navajo textiles. The geometric motifs seen throughout the design are not merely decorative; they carry deep symbolic meanings rooted in Navajo spiritual and natural traditions.

The rich tonal variation is achieved through the use of natural, organic dyes, often derived from native plants and minerals found in the Southwestern United States. The result is a visually striking yet earthy composition that reflects both balance and movement.
