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

$5,500.00

A captivating example of early 20th-century Navajo textile artistry, this vintage rug from the American Southwest showcases the renowned Eye Dazzler pattern, celebrated for its bold geometry and rhythmic visual movement. Handwoven with exceptional precision, the piece features three rows of diamond motifs in varying scales, executed in a harmonious palette of ivory, burgundy, gray, brown, and black—tones derived from natural, earth-based dyes traditionally used by Navajo artisans.

This flat-woven rug, crafted from wool on a cotton foundation, reflects both technical mastery and deep cultural symbolism. Each geometric form within the composition carries ancestral meaning, with motifs often representing balance, harmony, and sacred cosmologies unique to Navajo belief systems. The symmetry and complexity of the pattern speak to the weaver’s artistry, while the use of natural dyes highlights a profound connection to the surrounding landscape.

In remarkably fine condition for its age, this Navajo rug is both a decorative masterpiece and a collector-grade artifact. Its neutral yet richly textured palette allows it to integrate seamlessly into a variety of interiors, whether styled as a statement piece on the floor or displayed as an art textile on the wall.
