Navajo Wide Ruins Trading Post Rug Crownpoint
The rug is a fine Navajo Native American Indian wool rug with an excellent Wide Ruins pattern, hard spun from weaver Roselle Morgan. The Wide Ruins trading post was founded by Sally and William Lippincott in the 1940’s in Wide Ruins, Arizona. Wide Ruin rugs are characterized by the high quality 100% wool with all-natural vegetable dyes in a very fine, tightly hard spun weave of soft colors, with this rug being a very nice example with all the true attributes. The rug shows a linear Wide Ruins pattern, which is similar to that of a banded Chinle or banded Crystal. The vegetable dyed colors include brown, tan, yellow, cream, and black. The rug dates to the mid-20th Century and is from the Crownpoint Rug Weavers Association. In circa 1950-1960’s, the Crownpoint Rug Weavers Association founded the Crownpoint Rug Auction, which is still in operation today and shown from the Dalta Pass weavers. The condition of this rug is good, with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this rug are 19 1/2" x 31".
