About this weaving

This impressive Crystal pattern weaving commands attention at 6'7" x 12'. Crafted from hand-carded, hand-spun natural wool with aniline-dyed red and beautifully rendered grey tones, it showcases traditional squash blossom design elements. The substantial weight and generous dimensions make it equally stunning as a floor covering or dramatic wall installation, transforming any room into a showcase for authentic Navajo artistry.

The Crystal pattern stands as one of Navajo weaving's most influential designs, originating from J.B. Moore's trading post in Crystal, New Mexico, established in 1896. Moore's innovative approach to pattern-making became so iconic that it likely inspired the beloved Storm Pattern, Two Grey Hills, and Teec Nos Pos styles that followed. This particular weaving honors that rich legacy, showcasing the eclectic, forward-thinking aesthetic that has defined Crystal rugs throughout history and continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts today.
