Navajo Crystal Eye Dazzler Trading Post Rug c1930s
Featured in this lot is this Navajo Crystal Eye Dazzler Trading Post rug circa 1930's. The rug features a wonderfully and professionally crafted wool construction that shows a crystal medallion design with a black border and a light brown field with a band of beige that shows black crystal decoration that makes up the diamonds and medallions. The regional pattern Crystal starts in the mid 1930’s. The pattern is borderless with horizontal bands of geometric designs. The bands are separated by “wavy lines”. This is created by alternating and crossing the color of each weft. The colors are of natural wool with vegetal dyed colors. The contemporary Crystals are drastically different from the old J.B. MOORE crystals, which made the area famous in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. The condition of this Navajo rug is well preserved with some fading to the natural dyes due to age and shows some fraying but otherwise is well preserved. The measurements of this rug is 66" x 36". The thread count is 162 threads per square inch.
