| Circa 1900 Bold Transitional 87" x 56" CHURRO Offered here is a circa 1900s Navaho weaving that measures 7 feet 3 inches long by 4 foot 8 inches wide and is in excellent condition. It was woven by an expert weaver on a primitive upright loom of all Native hand shorn, hand carded and nicely handspun silky old long staple Churro sheep wool, both warp & weft. The weaver used the strong red ground upon which to weave a big bold serrated concentric diamond pattern. Each big diamond has a smaller serrated diamond variation motifs at its center. This blanket is very nicely balanced and makes a very powerful artistic statement. This vintage Native American textile has a smooth, even weft count averaging 22 per inch and a warp count of 6 per inch. The selvage cords are 100% original and in excellent condition. Warp selvages are 2-spiral cords and weft selvages are 2-spiral cords. The corners are tight, original and in excellent condition. All four tassels are original and in excellent condition. No wear, no holes, no odors, no moth-bites, no fade, no stains and no snags. It is clean and comes from a non-smoking home. Both sides are even in color. It lays flat & smooth and is symmetrical. Colors are bright and strong in this piece American Indian art and they are: natural hand carded and blended dark grayish brown, natural dark brown, natural ivory white along with hand dyed aniline burnt orange and aniline turkey red. Complete with lazy lines, this nice example of antique Native Americana is ready to display in your own hacienda on the floor or wall or just tuck away in your private rug & blanket collection. © #683 -LOEX12 $4,900.00 |
