COMPARABLE ITEMS SALE FOR $3,500.00 AND UP FOR SMALLER WEAVES AND LESS DETAIL.
Vintage Navajo Native American Indian Hand Woven Wool Rug. Approx. 44" X 74". As you can see, the red color has run, and there is damage to two corners - one a corner missing, the other, with damage/wear on both sides of the corner. There are other stains, and many spots where moths have nibbled - though holding the rug up to the light as best I could it appears that these nibbles are largely on one side but not chewed all the way through. Plus other wear consistent with age/use. So it is far from perfect but still a lovely textile that displays nicely despite the wear.
