Annette Cook, Rug, Ganado Red, Navajo, 34 1/2" x 58"

Traders like J.B. Moore first introduced Navajo art to collectors back east, but rugs (not silver) first captured the imaginations of collectors and decorators. Following Moore's lead, other traders began marketing 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 Nation. We have put together a large collection of rugs on our online Trading Post, and we hope you take time to look through them all. Hopefully, you will find the perfect rug. Ganado Red might be the most famous of all Navajo weavings. Lorenzo Hubbell's life work was promoting Native American art. He employed many different artists and the Ganado Red became his weavers' signature look. It is known for its striking red color, which showcases a center diamond pattern. We have a large collection of Ganado Reds so make sure you look at them all.
