For your bidding pleasure is this Early Small Chinle Navajo Rug. This regional Navajo Rug style is named for the town of Chinle at the mouth of Canyon de Chelly. Mary Cabot Wheelwright, founder of the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe, probably started the vegetal revival by providing weavers around Chinle, Arizona with the new dyes and sketches of old weavings. Chinle Revival rugs typically feature bands of repeating geometric motifs alternated with plain or striped bands of contrasting colors. Common colors for Chinle rugs include yellow, gold, brown, tan, terra cotta, soft pink and other earth tones, as well as natural wool colors ranging from white to black. Weavers in the area south of Chinle, around Nazlini, developed a variation on the Chinle type which often used stylized plant motifs in place of the repeating geometric shapes.
