Shirley Sandoval, Rug, Eye dazzler, Navajo Hand Woven, 38" x 53"
Navajo weaver Shirley Sandoval is very diverse. She can make some of the finest Ganado Reds you have seen, and then do something beautiful like this eye dazzler. Weavings like this are an inspiration with those classic Navajo patterns that you see imitated in non-Navajo made products, like purses and wool blankets. Let his inspire your Southwest home. Before the trains started coming to this part of the world and businesses like the Fred Harvey Company started selling Navajo jewelry to the masses, most people back east didn't know anything of the Navajo.
Traders like JB Moore would be one of the first to introduce the art of the Navajo to collectors back east, rugs, not silver. He put together a catalog of different weavings that would be sold in large quantities. More Traders would begin to introduce Navajo weavings and even influence certain styles. Today this tradition is carried on by the Trading Posts. We have a large collection of weavings from classic Ganado Reds to Germantown Revivals. Also, old antiques that have the character that goes with age to the new contemporary weavings. Enjoy looking through our online collection and remember if you don't see what you are looking for, we have many more in the Post.
