For your consideration is this Navajo Old Crystal Eye Dazzler trade rug circa 1960. This rug shows great color and wonderful condition showing a multiple diamond symmetry to the overall scheme of the eye dazzler rug; although the rug has an unknown weaver the tag attached to the rug authenticates it as a genuine Navajo rug circa 1960. This rug shows great color and wonderful condition showing a triangular symmetry to the overall scheme of the eye dazzler rug. The rug shows all 100% wool fine tightly woven construction with exquisite whimsical pattern with bright rich pigment natural colors of dark brown/black, tan, red, and grays / greys. Originally the Old Crystal trading post was established in 1894, in this remote part of the Navajo Reservation Southwest of Two Grey Hills and Northwest of Gallup. In 1896 J.B. Moore purchased an interest in the trading post and re-named it Crystal after a pure sparkling mountain spring that was in the area. Due to the remoteness of the Trading Post he started using a mail order catalog to sell his rugs to the Eastern market. The first catalog came out in 1903, with another in 1911. He left the reservation in 1911. During his stay at Crystal he greatly influenced the change in styles of Navajo rugs being produced at the Crystal Trading Post. The condition of this rug is good showing a tight woven early Navajo trade rug. The measurements of this rug are 43" x 22 1/2".
