Early NAVAJO NAVAHO Indian Rug/Runner. Bifurcated Design/Stepped Fret Border
Item History & Price
This old Navaho Indian rug/weaving measures approximately 75 1/2" x 34 1/2" and features a bifurcated design with a stepped fret border and 8 serrate floating figures. Tightly woven with hand spun wool.
GOOD condition with the following noted condition issues:
1. The perimeter is 96% intact with roughly 8" of broken or missing edge cord. Three stubby and worn corner tassels are present; one partial tassel is also worn.
2. There is one small ...hole in the gray ground next to the serrate black element.
3. Both ends are reinforced with black yarn. Warps at one end have been cut and extend beyond the perimeter cord (see photos).
4. This rug was just cleaned by a company specializing in Native American weavings. That said, some light stains/discolorations in the white yarns remain.
Both sides are pictured.
Lazy lines throughout. c. 1920. 6' 3 1/2" x 2' 10 1/2". Despite some condition issues this old Navajo runner has a lot to say. It displays beautifully "as is" and is ready for placement in your home or office. Offered here with NO reserve.
Please request additional photos if needed.
The buyer pays the actual cost for USPS Priority shipping. A handling charge provides insurance coverage at cost. I will email the final invoice with the added handling charge to the winning bidder at the conclusion of the auction. Please wait for the final invoice before you pay. Payment at pick up is also available. Ohio buyers pay 7.50% for sales tax.
Returns are accepted for up to 14 days after receipt of the weaving. The buyer is responsible for the one way cost of USPS Priority shipping and insurance for the return of the item. One exception is that returns are not accepted from international buyers.
Thanks for your bids and good luck!
