Ca1920s Jb Moore Crystal Churro Navajo Rug Native American Indian Blanket Navaho For Sale

---

Offered here is a circa ­­­1915-1925 Navaho weaving that measures 6 feet long by 3 foot 5 inches wide or 72” x 41”. It is attributed to the J. B. Moore Crystal Trading Post w5eaving area and is in very good+ condition. It was handwoven by an expert weaver on a primitive upright loom of all Native handshorn, handcarded and smoothly handspun old long staple Churro sheep wool, both weft & warp. The design of this weaving comes from Plate XXIV (24) of J B Moore’s 1911 Catalog (see copy of plate in photos above). This variation is a pleasing use of the large bold latchhook motifs with concentric stepped diamonds at the center. The small diamonds around the border add a good flavor of the Catalog Plate 25 border. Nice old textile.

We obtained this vintage Native American textile on a rug hunt in Santa Fe, NM just to offer you here on . It has a smooth, even weft count averaging 20 per inch and a warp count of 6 per inch. The selvage cords are in original very good to excellent condition. Warp selvages are 2-spiral cords and weft selvages are 2-spiral cords. The corners are all four tight, original and in excellent condition. One tassel is original & very good and three restored to excellent. It is pretty clean now & comes from a non-smoking home. One corner has a touch of faint to light black bleed and a couple of small 1” to 2” light dirty or soiled spots. Both sides are even in pattern color and shown in photos above. Colors are excellent in this piece of old American Indian art and they are: hand carded & hand blended natural grayish brown, ivory white, camel gold & dark chocolate brown along with hand dyed aniline turkey red and over-dyed black. Complete with lazy lines, this example of antique Native Americana is ready to display in your own hacienda or just tuck away in your private rug & blanket collection.
