Gray Tribal Geometric Flatweave Antique Square Navajo Yei Rug

$2,300.00

Antique Navajo American Gray 1940s Square Rug, Circa Date: 1940s. This piece is a striking example of mid-century antique rugs weaving, characterized by the bold, graphic style popular in the American Southwest during the 1940s. The design features a procession of stylized Ye'i figures, rendered in a stark, modern aesthetic that contrasts sharply with earlier, more traditional patterns. The palette is highly restrained, dominated by a nuanced field of heathered gray color rugs, punctuated by strong accents of black, white, and vibrant cochineal red. This limited color scheme emphasizes the powerful verticality of the figures and the sharp zig-zag border motifs, creating a sense of dynamic movement within the composition.
