1930s Navajo Rug from Ganado Trading Post, Wool in Brown, Black, Red & Ivory

About the Item

This vintage 1930s Navajo rug is a stunning example of Ganado pictorial weaving, featuring a bow and arrow motif. Woven with native handspun wool, the rug showcases natural fleece colors, including ivory (white), brown, black, gray, and rich aniline-dyed red for a striking contrast. The intricate design and use of natural materials reflect the traditional craftsmanship of the Navajo people, also known as the Diné. The rug originates from the Hubbell Trading Post in Ganado, Arizona, a historic site dating back to the 19th century. Located in the heart of the Navajo Nation, which spans present-day Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, this textile is a piece of cultural heritage from the Southwestern United States. This Southwestern-style rug is versatile and can be used in a variety of ways, such as an area rug on the floor, a wall hanging or tapestry, or as a decorative furniture throw. Its rich history and durable construction make it a timeless addition to any home, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern functionality. The weaving is in good condition, making it an excellent choice for collectors or anyone seeking an authentic piece of Navajo textile art.
