Navajo Crystal Design Rug
Rug Handwoven Early 1900's. Antique Crystal Navajo Wool Rug displaying a three column pattern with a large diamond at the center. Using natural wool, the variations in the color are just as you would see on the sheep. The unknown weaver shared her vision of beauty to create this one of a kind textile. Numerous lazy lines are apparent, but there's nothing lazy about this masterful weaver! Woven about 34 wefts to the inch, we had this professionally cleaned recently, but this textile was very much used and there are condition problems. Numerous broken stitches, particular on one (temporarily stabilized), tassels are missing and there are permanent stains, with thin areas throughput. It's about 35" x 64" and circa 1920's.
