This is from my private collection of Chimayo rugs that I personally purchased about 30 years back in time. This beauty has the most wonderful orange color and compliments the geometric motifs in blue, tan and black. These colors were reflective of the art deco period and work so well with the Native American pottery.
These exquisite handwoven wool vintage Southwestern textiles from Chimayó, New Mexico is a jewel of cultural refinement—an authentic expression of regional artistry that radiates prestige, provenance, and symbolic depth. Crafted in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, this heirloom-quality rug is not merely a decorative object but a legacy woven with soul. The vivid blue field sets the stage for an arresting composition anchored by a serrated diamond medallion—an ancient motif that speaks of balance, direction, and sacred geometry. With its rich orange, green, and tan contours framing a luminous red center, this piece embodies the elemental harmony of fire, earth, and sky. This geometric orchestration is not random—it is intentional, each line and color a nod to sacred landscapes, seasonal cycles, and the ancestral stories passed down through generations of weavers in Chimayó. The aesthetic is at once minimal and monumental, offering a purity of form that quietly commands attention in any refined setting.
The interplay between saturated and neutral tones elevates this piece to the realm of fine art, where every thread reveals a mastery of proportion, symbolism, and tactile elegance. Its compact scale makes it ideal for display—be it framed as a focal point in a collector’s gallery or used to impart gravitas to a curated interior.
This one has a minor condition issue with a dirt smudge on one side. A dry cleaning would make it disappear.
