For sale in this lot we have an Early Navajo Chinle runner rug. This regional Navajo Rug style is named for the town of Chinle at the mouth of Canyon de Chelly. The Chinle style was developed by Mary Cabot Wheelwright and Cozy McSparron, a trader at Chinle. They sought to revive weaving using classic period designs with vegetal dyes. The rug features a red and black stripe/angular pattern. The rug is in good condition for its age (a couple spots showing). It measures 37" x 18".
