| Circa 1950s VALLERO STAR CRYSTAL Navajo Rug Offered here is a crisp old Navaho weaving that measures 5 feet 1 inches long by 3 foot 2 inches wide or 61” x 38”. It is attributed to the Crystal Trading Post area and is in excellent to near mint condition. It was woven by an expert weaver on a primitive upright loom of all Native hand shorn, hand carded and smoothly handspun good quality Merino cross sheep wool, both warp & weft. This is a great designed old Indian rug. The small centerfield of camel tan has a nice double ended spiral latch-hook motif within. Surrounding the center field is a crisp layout of 12 bold 8-point Valero Stars on the grayish brown field. Finishing the weaving is a coal black ribbon border that frames the piece very nicely. We obtained this vintage Native American textile in Arizona. It has a tight, firm weft count averaging 26 per inch and a warp count of 6 per inch. The selvage cords are 100% original, complete and in near mint condition. Warp selvages are 2-spiral cords and weft selvages are 2-spiral cords. All four corners are tight, original and in near mint condition. No bleed, no wear, no holes, no odors, no moth nibbles, no fade, it has never been cleaned before, is pretty clean and comes from a non-smoking home. Both sides are even in color and shown in photos below. Colors are very good in this piece of old American Indian art and they are: natural hand-carded & blended grayish brown, natural dark camel tan, natural white to a variegated grayish or silvery white along with hand dyed aniline medium sky blue, aniline coal black and aniline cardinal red. Complete with lazy lines, this nice example of antique Native Americana is ready to display in your own hacienda or just tuck away in your private rug & blanket collection. (1128)HEZ8 $695.00 |
