5 Tips to Identify Authentic Navajo Rugs (With Videos)

Doing some preliminary research before stepping into a rug showroom will aid you tremendously. Instead of being overwhelmed by the many styles, colors and designs, your eye will quickly be able to discern the finest tapestry weaves of Two Grey Hills, the vibrant reds of the Ganados, the dancing Yeis and soft pastels of vegetal dyed Burntwaters and Wide Ruins.

In this instance, knowledge is truly power. The more you learn about the Navajo world, the more the weavings will come alive for you. The more time you spend with the rugs, touching them, comparing them side by side, the more you’ll find yourself drawn to particular styles and periods. 

Once you begin the journey into the world of Navajo weaving, into the sacred art taught by Spider Woman to her people, your life and home will be enriched.
