Featured in this lot is this very fine tightly woven mohair Navajo Native American handwoven rare Klagetoh Trading Post Rug, circa 1960's. The Klagetoh style was established by Lorenzo Hubbell late in 1800, along with the contrasting Ganado Style. The rug shows a grey background with a black and red border, a Klagetoh style medallion, and stepped design in the center part of the medallion. Mohair is soft wool that comes from the hair of the Angora goat. Some call mohair the “diamond fiber,” as the wool is characterized by a distinct luster and sheen. When blended with other textiles, like alpaca or merino, mohair lends that luster to the fibers. The condition of this rug is pristine, with no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this rug are 37 1/2" x 23". Very fine weaveing with rich soft wool, natural dyed colors with impressive pattern being a truly rare and authentic Navajo original.
