This vintage Navajo rug features a beautifully executed Chinle Revival pattern, a regional design style that originated in the 1920s in Chinle, Arizona, near the sacred Canyon de Chelly. Handwoven from native hand-spun wool, this rug exemplifies the elegance and cultural depth of Southwestern textile traditions.

The design follows a classic banded Chinle layout, with alternating horizontal stripes in earth-toned hues of cornmeal yellow, soft cream, warm brown, black, gray, and ivory. The repeating geometric motifs are rich with symbolic meaning, reflecting the weaver’s deep connection to the land, heritage, and spirituality.

Executed with a flat weave construction, this piece is crafted from wool on a typical cotton foundation, showcasing both strength and subtle refinement. The use of natural organic dyes, sourced from local plants and minerals, lends the rug a muted, harmonious color palette that feels at once grounded and timeless.

This rug is a celebration of Navajo weaving heritage, offering both aesthetic beauty and cultural significance. Its balanced design and natural palette make it highly versatile—equally suited to refined rustic interiors or modern minimalist spaces. A treasured collector’s textile, it carries the legacy of a people, a place, and a weaving tradition that continues to inspire.
