Circa ~ 1940
Dimensions: 51 ½” x 36 ½”
This exquisite Navajo rug showcases the distinctive Klagetoh pattern, featuring a harmonious blend of red, black, and white colors set against a soft grey background. True to the Klagetoh style, the design centers around a large diamond motif, characterized by its bold geometric shapes and balanced color palette.
Crafted from native handspun wool, the rug reflects the skill and tradition of Navajo weaving. The use of aniline dyes adds vibrancy and depth to the colors, highlighting the artisan’s attention to detail and mastery of materials.
A fine example of regional Navajo artistry, this rug embodies both cultural heritage and practical artistry, suitable for collectors and lovers of authentic Native American textiles.
Overall, the rug is beautiful, showcasing fine craftsmanship and intricate design. There are some areas on the edging that show wear, and the border ends display beige threading, which is consistent with a previous repair. One corner exhibits noticeable thread loss, while another has minor thread loss. These signs of wear and restoration do not detract from the rug’s overall aesthetic and charm.
