For your consideration is this Navajo Two Grey Hills vintage rug circa. 1960s. Two Grey Hills Navajo Indian Rugs are known as weavings in which no colored dyes were used. Instead, weavers carefully combed and spun different natural colors of yarn to yield a beautiful range of creamy whites, tans, browns, and greys. The weavers around Two Grey Hills developed very complex geometric patterns, usually based on a large, hooked, central diamond with multiple geometric borders. They also were known for very finely spun wool of small diameter which they used to make very thin, dense, and tightly woven rugs that are certainly the greatest technical achievements in the history of Navajo rug making. This rug shows a black stepped geometric pattern for the outside border with another border of grey. The inside field shows a beige / tan color with four corner chevrons showing a black outline, then white and finally a beige / tan interior. The middle of the rug shows a thick cross design with a black and white border, and geometric designs in the in the center in beige / tan and grey colors. The rug is set on a canvas background and mounted to a thick sturdy board. The rug shows a tight weave with a total thread count per square inch showing 192. The condition of this rug is good with no signs of damage and little to no wear present. The rug measures 32" L x 20" W. The entire piece measures 37 1/4" L x 25" W.
