Available here for your consideration is a vintage Storm Pattern style Navajo Rug. This is a beautiful textile, exemplifying the skill of the Navajo weaver in it's fascinating design and unsurpassed skill in execution. The weaver added the symbolic elements of  lightning, water bugs and butterflies along with geometric diamond shapes in an eye popping design. The tasteful color combinations add a sizzle, a feeling of movement and nature to this beautiful weaving. The history of the Storm Pattern rug begins with the Red Lake Trading Post at Tonalea or possibly with John B Moore of Crystal who had a mail order catalog of Navajo rugs in the early 1900s. The Storm Pattern rug is a stunning example of fine Navajo weaving! Make this one yours today!
Navajo weavings (blankets and rugs) are considered to be among the most colorful and best made textiles produced by North American Natives. They are sought after by textile collectors and Native arts collectors alike. Consider this one for your home or office today!
