Nice, old Navajo wool Chief`s blanket, 3rd Phase, with the traditional serrated triangles design in dark blue and cream on red ground. It measures 42 x 62 and is in fine condition. From the Tahoe Wovoka Estate Collection. Wovoka Collection HKA#63125. During private previews, several dealers have commented that this rug is or may be contemporary. The "feel" of the wool is a bit "softer", and thus possibly machine spun wool, compared to the older rugs which have hand spun wool and are rougher or more coarse to the touch. As such, we have lowered the estimate. Please come and inspect and come to your own conclusion.
