Vintage Navajo Wool Rug With Shiprock Trading Post Provenance

A stunning antique Navajo textile with exceptional provenance. This finely woven wool rug retains its original Shiprock Trading Post tag — one of the most respected dealers of authentic Navajo textiles in New Mexico — confirming its authenticity and adding collectible value.

The rug features a classic Navajo geometric design with two bold diamond medallions framed by zigzag and stepped borders in a rich, earthy naturally dyed palette of deep brown, cream, black, and gold. The weave is exceptionally tight and even, a hallmark of quality Navajo craftsmanship.

Condition Note: As expected with a textile of this age, there is some fraying and wear along one edge, with minor unraveling to the selvage. This is consistent with natural aging and does not detract from the visual impact or integrity of the weave. The rug displays beautifully and the pattern remains fully intact. As-is — no repairs have been made.
