Expertly woven and perfectly preserved 1950's Navajo Storm Pattern Rug from hand woven Churro wool. Excellent if not perfect condition, as if it was woven yesterday. Modern day Navajo rugs are often woven from commercially produced yarn, it is a rare and lucky thing to have one woven from hand woven wool. We like to drape our Navajo rugs over our couch, an ottoman, chair or you can always hang on a wall to display as art.
One of a kind, truly an heirloom piece.
A Navajo storm rug is a traditional weaving design that symbolizes a storm, often featuring a central rectangle representing the weaver's home (hogan) with zigzag lines connecting to four corner elements symbolizing the four sacred mountains, all representing the connection between the home and the surrounding Navajo land through the power of lightning in a storm; the design is considered sacred and rooted in Navajo mythology
We have made sure this rug is ready to go home free of dust by letting it sit in the hot sun and flipping both sides. Once a year we bring our Navajo rugs outside to air out and let the sun heat it out. You can also wrap it in a plastic bag and place in the freezer for 24 hours to give it a refresh. Never machine wash a Navajo rug, use hot water or spot clean with chemicals. You can vacuum lightly with the brush head of a vacuum.
Measures 43'' x 34''. Hand woven, hand spun churro wool. This is a vintage and previously owned authentic Navajo rug. Therefore, light wear can be expected.
