Navajo Blankets
Be forewarned: collecting Navajo blankets, rugs, and other textiles is absolutely addictive. Just ask Steve and Gail Getzwiller, the forces behind Navajorug.com! The Getzwillers have been collecting Navajo blankets and rugs for more than 30 years, and The Getzwiller Collection has been the centerpiece for four different museum exhibitions at The Desert Caballeros Western Museum. Every type of art collection is satisfying in its own way, but few are as deeply rewarding as the collection of Navajo blankets, rugs, and other weavings.
Why is collecting Navajo textiles so especially fulfilling? For one, a collection of Navajo blankets and rugs transforms the space that houses it. Whether you fill your office, your living room, or your dining room with your collection of Navajo weavings, you'll soon discover that this room is your very favorite place to be.
Many collectors who initially plan to fill just one room with Navajo rugs and blankets end up decorating every room in their house with these weavings. Historic and contemporary Navajo textiles create such a sense of tranquility, harmony, and spirituality that they can be hard to resist! With their warm, natural quality, Navajo textiles are perfect for decorating vacation homes and cabins. Whether you own a ski chalet in Vail or a cozy cabin in the Smoky Mountains, you'll want to fill it with durable, beautiful Navajo weavings.
Because the items we sell at Navajorug.com are handmade and one-of-a-kind, our inventory is constantly changing. On any given day, you might find a Chief's blanket from circa 1900 and a saddle blanket from the 1930s alongside a breathtaking contemporary rug woven from Navajo-Churro wool. As passionate collectors ourselves, we have created Navajorug.com as the ultimate collector's resource.
