Featured in this lot is an original early Navajo Native American Indian Old Crystal Trading Post Rug. The circa early 1900 rug features a beautiful tight weave with bold colors and sharp edges. Originally the Old Crystal trading post was established in 1894, in this remote part of the Navajo Reservation Southwest of Two Grey Hills and Northwest of Gallup. In 1896 J.B. Moore purchased an interest in the trading post and re-named it Crystal after a pure sparkling mountain spring that was in the area. This rug shows good overall condition for age and measures 69" x 52".
