Joe Van Winkle, Ganado Red, Navajo Handwoven, 50"x 66 1/2"

Traders like JB Moore would be the first to introduce the art of the Navajo to collectors back east, but it was rugs (not silver) that first captured the imaginations collectors and decorators. Following Moore's suit, other traders would begin to market Navajo weaving, even influencing many of the well-known styles. Today styles are not defined by regions, but perfected by dedicated weavers from all parts of the Navajo Nations. We have put together a large collection of rugs on our online Trading Post and hope you take time to look through them all. Hopefully, you will find the perfect rug. Navajo artist Joe Van Winkle hand wove this beautiful rug. This classic Ganado Red has so much design that you almost can't believe your eyes. It is a very tight weave and will make an incredible addition to your collection. The rug comes with a First Place Blue Ribbon awarded the weaving at Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial.
