Awesome antique rug! This stunning rug has a serrated diamond center with three enclosed diamonds of red, white, and dark brown. There is also gray in the outside design. The rug is thought to be a pre-1950s Navajo weaving, from the Crystal area of New Mexico (per appraisers), although no documentation is available.
Size: 49” x 33 ½”
Condition: Running of colors, mold due to a storm and flooding. Staining mostly along left 1/3-1/2 side of rug (side one, opposite on side two). Left side has little flood damage, just wear and stains from being so old. Note closeup photos. Price reflects damage.
