This finely hand woven Navajo Chinle rug, dating back to the early 1900s, is a beautiful example of Native American textile artistry from the American Southwest. Woven by skilled Navajo (Diné) artisans, this larger Chinle rug features the classic banded stripe pattern, adorned with small geometric medallions woven into each row—an iconic design rooted in tradition.
Crafted with hand-spun wool on a cotton foundation, the rug is dyed using natural, organic materials sourced from the Navajo homeland. The warm and balanced color palette—gold, yellow, ivory, brown, and gray—reflects the earthy beauty of the Southwest landscape. The flat weave construction showcases the weaver’s precision and deep understanding of pattern, proportion, and symbolism.
Beyond its visual appeal, this piece holds significant cultural meaning. Traditional Navajo rugs are not merely decorative—they are expressions of identity, spirituality, and deep connection to the land. Every motif and color carries symbolism, making this rug a powerful piece of cultural storytelling.
This Chinle rug remains in good overall condition considering its age, and its craftsmanship and authenticity make it a timeless addition to any interior space. Whether used as a floor covering, wall hanging, or collector’s item, it brings a sense of heritage, artistry, and warmth to your home.
