Bessie Yazzie, German Town Revival, Navajo Handwoven, 74" x 27"

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 of 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.

About twenty-five years ago we began seeing Newlands style rugs, the raised outline pattern. The most recent style that has taken off is the German Town Revival. It is identified by it's dark red color and Chief Blanket inspired design. This is a beautiful weaving that will be a wonderful addition to your collection, you probably don't have one of these in your weavings.
