This is a high quality hand woven Navajo tapestry. It is hand crafted from high quality wool yarn in the classic Crystal Pattern. This fantastic rug measures approximately 50 inches x 32 inches (a little larger than 4 feet by 3 feet).
The Crystal Style of Navajo rug is not named because of the pattern, but because of the Old Crystal Trading Post, established in 1894. The owner, J.B. Moore, began selling rugs but quickly realized that his customers desired better quality rugs and new patterns. J.B. greatly influenced the weavers to improve their skills and adopt more Asian influence in design. The Crystal Style quickly became popular in mail order catalogs and was known for its high quality. Today this style has been adopted by many weavers but it maintains the quality and Asian influence; multiple borders, large motifs, abstract designs.
