Mae Jean Chester, Rug, Ganado Red, Navajo, 29" x 49"

This Navajo Ganado Red rug by Mae Jean Chester features a dramatic elongated central medallion surrounded by finely detailed geometric patterning. Rich red, black, white, and multiple shades of gray create a striking palette with strong contrast and visual depth. The central design is carefully balanced with stepped forms, angular accents, and repeating serrated motifs that extend throughout the field. A bold dark border frames the composition, emphasizing the rug’s symmetry and intricate craftsmanship. Handwoven by Navajo artist Mae Jean Chester, this Ganado Red rug is an impressive example of traditional weaving artistry with a commanding Southwestern presence.
