Description :
This rug is handwoven and has a brightly colored, intricate design, and most likely from the Southwest. We believe it to be a Navajo Germantown rug. These rugs were woven by Navajo artisans using commercially produced yarn from Germantown, Pennsylvania, in the late 19th century. The yarn was provided to the Navajo after their traditional wool sources were disrupted, leading to a unique style characterized by bold geometric patterns and vibrant synthetic dyes. The dimensions of the rug suggest it could be a small Navajo weaving, possibly a sampler or saddle blanket. It has serrated motifs, diamond shapes, and eye-dazzler patterns, that further support its Germantown origins. The rug has the same texture and pattern on both sides signifying that it is handwoven. It is highly likely this is an antique rug; however there is no documentation other than family stories and Texan origination.
Dimensions : 62 in L x 31 in W
