DESCRIPTION: Antique Navajo Transitional rugs represent a pivotal moment in Navajo weaving history, created between the 1880s and early 1900s when weavers shifted from making traditional wearing blankets to weaving rugs for trade. These rugs often blend elements of classic Navajo design—like banded patterns and stepped motifs—with new influences such as bordered layouts and brighter, commercially dyed colors. Woven with handspun wool, Transitional rugs reflect experimentation, adaptation, and resilience. They’re treasured today for their bold creativity, historical context, and the way they bridge two eras of Navajo textile artistry.
