This exceptional textile exemplifies the powerful geometric aesthetic prevalent in American antique rugs of the early 20th century. Its construction is a finely executed flat weave, prized for its durability and graphic clarity, making it a sophisticated addition to any collection.

The palette is grounded in natural, undyed wool, featuring soft creams, warm grays, and deep charcoal blacks, which contribute to the sophisticated brown earth tone color rugs category. These neutral shades are dramatically punctuated by sharp, saturated accents of vermillion red, drawing the eye into the intricate optical design and providing a necessary contrast to the otherwise restrained composition.

The design employs a striking, continuous diamond and zigzag motif, utilizing serrated edges that lend a kinetic energy to the field. This powerful repetition ensures that the visual impact is maintained across the entire surface, characteristic of an allover pattern where no single medallion dominates the composition.

While the exact dimensions define its utility, the scale of the motifs suggests it is perfectly suited as a decorative accent piece or a defined area marker. Its robust weave and striking visual presence make it ideal for high-traffic areas, offering both historical integrity and modern appeal, particularly suitable for a small scatter size placement in a library or entryway. (Note: Dimensions are 3.03ft x 5ft.)


Navajo weavers just love zig-zags, be they small or, as here, bold, defining a central column of soft grey and red diamonds. The black central column is the most striking motif and the nearby tones grade off through grey to sand with no side borders, just narrow black and sand strip end borders. Small scale color joins. Good condition. See less
