A1373 - Crystal J.B.Moore

View Details This is a handmade Native American rug and is a one of a kind item. This J.B. Moore rug is made with handcarded and handwashed wool, some of which has been vegetally dyed. J.B. Moore was a trader at the Crystal trading post in New Mexico. At the turn of the 20th century Navajo weaving was experiencing a decline. J.B. Moore began an innovative method of reaching Eastern buyers through a catalogue and also encouraging excellence from his local weavers. He encouraged his weavers toward patterns that were quite different than the blanket designs woven previously, incorporating borders and Eastern carpet designs. In this way Mr. Moore was very influential in changing the way Navajo weaving designs appeared and his influence can still be seen in Navajo rugs today. This Navajo rug has a double Storm Pattern with the whirling log design common in the 1930-40's. This rug measures 54" x 99"/   SKU: A1373 Price: $4,400.00 Quantity 1  Add to cart
