Included in this lot for your consideration is a Navajo Native American Indian rug, woven in the Chinle style. The Chinle pattern originates from the town of Chinle at the mouth of Canyon de Chelly. The Chinle style was developed by Mary Cabot Wheelwright and Cozy McSparron, a trader at Chinle. They sought to revive weaving using classic period designs with vegetal dyes. The Chinle characteristics are horizontal bands containing Chevrons, Chinle Stars, Squash Blossoms and Diamonds in muted colors of gold, green, tan, off-white and pink. This rug in particular shows a truly exceptional weave, and gorgeous coloring. Overall, the rug shows very-good condition. The rug measures 57" x 37".
