    Description

    In mid-June, I attended an Wisconsin estate auction at which approximately 12 authentic Navajo wool rugs were included in this older estate.  I received the high bid and selected two Navajo rugs that I am listing today.  I know very little about Native American weaving so I will leave it to the experts on E-Bay to discern the age and locale of each of these rugs.  This particular rug is beige and brown and is highly designed.  There is some edge wear to the ends of the rug and when held up to light and there appears to be two moth holes/small tears to the interior of the rug (see picture 7).  The wool rug measures 40" x 62" and is simply stunning. Within the weave design there are 16 feathers.  I am guessing that the rug is from 1920 (or before) given the age of the rest of the artifacts of this particular estate.  I guarantee that this is an authentic Navajo rug and old.  The rug displays beautifully "as is" and it is also a prime candidate for restoration.
    I will be unavailable from July 13-20 so, if this rug sales, I will get the rug out in the mail on July 12 or after July 20.  The new owner pays .00 for shipping and handling.
