This stunning example of a Red Mesa Navajo Rug is in near perfect condition, recently professionally cleaned and restored. From 1860-1910, especially after the 1880s, Navajo blankets that were traditionally worn, transitioned to rugs, partly due to the introduction of commercial dyes and yarns, which changed the standard color palette and increased the appeal as home decor. Red Mesa rugs incorporated dramatic, exotic colors, inspired by Hispanic weavings. The style is a form Teec Noc Pos, while maintaining contrasting light and dark colors, vertical chevrons and diamonds. The style is known for the "dazzling border that blends into the outwardly radiating pattern for a distict visual look". [Ref: Nhizoni Ranch Gallery at Navajorugs.com]
