Antique Navajo Native American Allover Geometric Flat Weave Rug, Circa Date: 1890s. This exceptional example of late 19th-century weaving showcases the dynamic design vocabulary characteristic of the American Southwest. Unlike pile carpets, this flat weave construction emphasizes the purity of the geometric motifs, making it a compelling piece among antique rugs. The composition is dominated by a powerful, repeating diamond lattice rendered in serrated edges, creating a striking visual rhythm across the field. Horizontal bands of alternating color run between these diamonds, lending structure to the overall design. The narrow ends are finished with subtle, tight striped rugs borders, balancing the intensity of the central field. The palette is intensely saturated, utilizing a rich cochineal red as the foundation for the complex pattern work.
