Navajo Two Grey Hills Toadlena Rug c. 1940-1950's
This is an outstanding authentic original Navajo Native American Indian Trading Post wool rug with excellent Toadlena Two Grey Hills pattern and c. 1940-1950’s age. The rug shows a fine soft tightly woven 100% wool construction with natural vegetable dyes having a grey / brownish background with the iconic Two Grey hills central pattern having stepped patterns in white / cream, black, brown, orange / red, and tans. The rug is set off by the three-layered fancy border in black / brown, cream / white and orange / tan. The background has a heathered like look, a true attribute to this piece early handmade and hand dyed authentic age. The Two Grey Hills pattern was started in circa 1900-1914 by George Bloomfield and Ed Davis at the Toadlena and Two Grey Hills Trading Post. This example is thought to be of an early 1940-1950's age from the Two Grey Hills Trading Post. This large Navajo woven rug still has a wonderful look and would very beautifully compliment the modern Western aesthetic. The rug shows a very good well-preserved condition. The rug measures 54" x 34".
