Vintage circa 1930 Diné Navajo Trading Post Rug from Chinle, Arizona. Woven of native handspun wool in natural fleece colors of ivory (white) and brown with aniline dyed blue, red and yellow (now reads more like a camel color). The design is a banded Chinle pattern alternating with rows of diamonds in box motifs.
This southwestern textile is well suited for use on the floor as an area rug, as a wall hanging (vertical or horizontal format), or as a furniture throw.
