Offered here is a circa 1930s, sharp old Navaho weaving that measures 4 foot 10 inches long by 3 foot 5 inches wide or 58” x 41”. It is attributed to the Ganado, Arizona weaving area and is in excellent condition. It was woven by an expert weaver on a primitive upright loom of all Native hand shorn, hand carded and nicely handspun quality Merino sheep wool, both warp & weft. The design is a big, bold concentric serrated central diamond with no side borders. It is finished on the ends with tri-color compound stripes. Just a good old Indian rug. No Reserve.
We obtained this vintage Native American textile here in New Mexico just to offer to you here on eBay. It has a smooth, even weft count averaging 16 per inch and a warp count of 7 per inch. The selvage cords are 100% complete and in excellent condition. Warp selvages are 2-spiral cords and weft selvages are 2-spiral cords. The corners are all four tight, original and in excellent condition. All tassels are excellent with one being original, 2 half restored, and one fully restored. No holes, no odors, no moth nibbles, no bleed and no fade. It is clean and comes from a non smoking home. Both sides are even in color. Colors are very good in this piece of old American Indian art and they are: natural hand blended light grayish brown, natural ivory white along with hand dyed aniline black and aniline cardinal red. Complete with lazy lines, this nice example of near antique Native Americana is ready to display in your own hacienda or just tuck away in your private rug & blanket collection. Great Christmas idea too! (1032)
