Crystal Navajo Weaving : Historic : GHT 2101 : 58″ x 72″ : (4'11" x 6')

Celebrate this magnificent 1920s Crystal Navajo rug—a 58" x 72" masterpiece that seamlessly bridges Art Deco, Navajo tradition, and classical Greek design sensibilities. The weaver demonstrated exquisite technical skill through meticulous execution and thoughtful composition. The outer border features interlocking hooks in black and white, creating a sophisticated frame that draws the eye inward. This geometric border surrounds a serene field of natural brown tones, which then gives way to a refined explosion of vibrant red at the center—a bold artistic choice that creates visual drama and movement. The navy blue wool edge and tassels provide a grounding element that completes the design with understated elegance. This historic textile celebrates the weaver's ability to balance restraint with boldness, creating a composition that feels both timeless and distinctly of its era. A treasured example for collectors who appreciate textiles that honor multiple artistic traditions while maintaining authentic Navajo craftsmanship.

This weaving was part of an Exhibition showing at the Tucson Desert Art Museum January 4 2017 to April 30 2017.  Please look at the Dazzled Eye catalog on page 23 to find this weaving.
