Antique Navajo Indian Wool Rug /Blanket, Circa 1917, Bows and Arrows

June 14, 2020antiqueantique, arrows, blanket, bows, circa, indian, navajo, wooladmin

This is a very nice Native American Rug / Blanket. There are no tears or rips, but there does appear to be a few blemishes where it looks like a weave had been pulled or dropped. There are a few spots. I don’t believe it has ever been clean. It appears fairly clean. One stitch along the perimeter is no longer a continuous. I will try to get that picture available. It is very soft and non wiry / bristly unlike newer woven rugs / blankets. It measures about 48″ x 56″. If you are interested, I’ll be happy to send additional photos detailing more of the condition. Over all very nice condition. The item “Antique Navajo Indian Wool Rug /Blanket, Circa 1917, Bows and Arrows” is in sale since Wednesday, October 31, 2018.

1925 -Navajo Indian Trading Post Rug Patterns/ Harry Carey’s Ranch / Saugus, CA

December 25, 2019-navajocarey's, harry, indian, navajo, patterns, post, ranch, saugus, tradingadmin

This is a 16 page, oversized folder (12 X 9) – Copyrighted 1925. Inside is a booklet & oversized loose-leaf/glossy style rug pattern pages tucked in the back. This was a brochure you could get at Harry Carey’s Trading Post. He was a big Hollywood movie star that had this ranch/trading post in Saugus, California. There you would find Navajo rug weavers and you could pick the pattern you would like from this color/glossy brochure showing all your options and have them hand woven, per your selection. There are 7 sheets in the back with 9 various Navajo patterned rugs to choose from. Interestingly, you will probably take note that the trading post seems to have adopted a signature logo, that would later be used by the Germans during the war and the Holocaust. This seems to be more associated with Harry Carey as it’s also the logo on the brochure (and incorporated into one of the rugs). Little did they know how it would be used later in the 1930’s. There is also a studio portrait of Harry Carey in the booklet. The Navajo women were featured predominately in the photos & articles. It includes picture pages and the original mailing folder from the Trading Post as well. I’ve also included a last photo of the invite for my grandfather to work at the Ranch tending to the horses, as well as a photo of Harry Carey and his wife posing inside the Trading post store and a post card of the ranch as well.
