Navajo 2165

A rare and elegant vintage Native American Navajo rug from the mid-1900s, this handwoven piece stands out with its striking Persian blue background—an uncommon and highly collectible color in traditional Navajo textiles. Woven using the classic flat-weave technique, the rug features a minimalist stripe design, with slim horizontal bands in ivory and black that create bold contrast and visual rhythm.

Made from handspun wool on a cotton foundation, this rug exemplifies traditional Navajo weaving practices, including the use of natural, plant- and mineral-based dyes sourced from the Southwestern landscape. The color palette and geometry not only reflect refined aesthetic choices but also carry spiritual and cultural symbolism passed down through generations of Navajo weavers.

This piece is ideal for display as a collector’s textile, statement wall tapestry, or a floor accent in Southwestern, rustic, bohemian, or even modern minimalist interiors. A sophisticated example of authentic Native American artistry and timeless design.
