Featured in this lot is this handwoven Navajo medallion Chinle rug circa 1960's. The rug features a wonderfully and professionally crafted handwoven wool construction that features a large layered medallion set into the face of the rug with colors such as red, and light brown set to a off white field. This regional Navajo Rug style is named for 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 condition of this rug is good fair to good with some wear to one of the edges but otherwise it shows fair to good overall condition. The measurements of this rug are 36" x 18 1/2".
