Featured in this lot is this fine Navajo American Indian wool salesman sample rug with an excellent Wide Ruins pattern from weaver Mary Teleeto. The Wide Ruins trading post was founded by Sally and William Lippincott in the 1940’s in Wide Ruins, Arizona. Wide Ruin rugs are characterized by the high quality 100% wool with all-natural vegetable dyes in a very fine, tightly spun weave of soft colors, with this rug being a very nice example with all the true attributes. The rug shows a linear Wide Ruins pattern, which is similar to that of a banded Chinle or banded Crystal. The vegetable dyed colors include brown, tan, yellow, cream, and black. The rug dates to the mid-20th Century and is from the Crownpoint Rug Weavers Association. In circa 1950-1960’s, the Crownpoint Rug Weavers Association founded the Crownpoint Rug Auction, which is still in operation today and from Lake Valley. The condition of this rug is good, showing no obvious signs of damage. The measurements of this rug are 22" x 31".
