This exceptional weaving represents the pinnacle of American textile artistry from the early 20th century. Its striking design, rooted in indigenous tradition, distinguishes it among antique rugs of the period.

The composition is anchored by a luminous, undyed wool field, providing a sophisticated ivory color backdrop. Against this neutral canvas, powerful accents of deep mocha, vibrant cochineal red, and soft heather gray create dramatic visual tension, typical of high-quality Diné craftsmanship.

A monumental central diamond motif dominates the field, executed with precise, stepped outlines that emphasize the rug's powerful symmetry. The bold, graphic nature of the design places this piece firmly within the tradition of geometric rugs, showcasing the weaver's mastery of line and negative space.

Woven with tightly spun wool, this textile exhibits the durability and robust texture characteristic of Navajo production. Its dimensions make it an ideal small scatter size piece, perfect for introducing a foundational element of American Modernism and indigenous history into a curated interior space.





This vintage Southwestern scatter reduces a Caucasian-derived lozenge and stepped surround to its essentials with a bold execution in ecru, red and black. Stepped triangle grey corners and comb trees and edgings. Excellent condition. See less
