Featured in this lot is this Navajo Chinle trading post pattern wool rug. The rug features a wonderfully and professionally crafted wool construction with bands of orange, yellow, and red set to a off white field. 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. Chinle rugs are known for their striped bands of geometric patterns and contrasting colors. These new regional styles were all inspired by Navajo Transitional Period designs, which typically featured striped motifs and vegetal dyes. The condition of this rug is good with slight wear to two of the tassels but otherwise in good overall condition. The measurements of this rug are 59" x 29".
