Featured in this lot is this Navajo Two Grey Hills hand woven rug, circa 1940's. The rug shows six stepped diamonds decorations with dark brown, heathered grey, and red and features a cream field with light and dark brown border. This regional style was started in 1914 by George Bloomfield and Ed Davis at the Toadlena and Two Grey Hills Trading Post. These Navajo rugs are characterized by natural browns, tan, gray, ivory, white, and black. It is not unusual for the blacks to be oven-dyed. Very rarely, small amounts of red, orange, or blue are used. The patterns usually have a central diamond motif and intricate patterns. The Two Grey Hills weavings are noted for their high quality. The trading post is located in northwest New Mexico, south of Shiprock and northeast of the Crystal area. The condition of this rug is good, with slight wear to the rug consistent with the age of the rug, no obvious signs of damage, and all four tassels still intact. The measurements of this rug are 46" x 35".
