Large and Rare Antique Navajo Klagetoh Rug

Offered by: Tishu

Description
On offer is a rare antique Navajo rug, a truly magnificent piece of textile, circa 1920s-1930s. Distinguished in its massive size (68 by 131 inches), intricate designs and superb workmanship, this Klagetoh weaving is rather unusual in that instead of being grey in the background, it has a whitish tan background using natural colored yarns. Klagetoh is related to Ganado in its iconic use of Ganado Red; but its design tends to center on an elongated diamond. This large rug also features Greek key-like hooks along the diamond, an influence from the oriental design, an intricate border of steeped red triangles, and full and half grey diamond with arrows and feathers on the corners. Stunning specimen.
