Up for sale is a beautiful, authentic vintage Navajo (Diné) regional rug. This piece was purchased in the 1970s and has been carefully kept mostly boxed up and unused in a smoke-free home. It is an exceptional example of mid-to-late 20th-century Native American textile art.## Design & Style:
This rug features a classic, striking Ganado / Klagetoh regional style pattern. The layout centers around a highly intricate, elongated central diamond (erratic medallion) flanked by crisp, stepped geometric motifs in the corners. The palette consists of a rich, deep \"Ganado\" maroon-red background accented by natural carded grey, white, and a solid black border. The symmetry from top-to-bottom and side-to-side is excellent, showcasing the incredible patience and skill of the weaver.## Authenticity Features:* True Native American Vertical Loom Construction: The rug features a continuous warp with zero end fringe, which is a key hallmark separating true Navajo rugs from commercial or Mexican imports.
* Tied Corner Tassels: Features the traditional two-ply tied tassel cords extending from the side-selvage edges at the corners.
* Reversible: The hand-woven technique means the rug is fully double-sided and features identical geometric design clarity on both sides.## Dimensions:* Length: 53 inches
* Width: 32.5 inches## Condition:
The rug is in excellent vintage condition with strong structural integrity. The edges are straight, the corners are flat, and the weave is tight. There are no major stains, holes, odors, or color bleeding.## Shipping & Handling:
The rug will be carefully folded, wrapped in protective packaging, and shipped with full tracking and insurance.
Please review all high-resolution photos closely to inspect the handwoven texture, corner tassels, and exact condition. Feel free to reach out with any questions or if you need specific close-up shots before purchasing!
