Bessie Yazzie, Chief Blanket, Navajo Handwoven Rug, 44” x 24”
Traders like JB Moore would be the first to introduce the art of the Navajo to collectors back east, but it was rugs (not silver) that first captured the imaginations collectors and decorators. Following Moore's suit, other traders would begin to market Navajo weaving, even influencing many of the well-known styles. Today styles are not defined by regions, but perfected by dedicated weavers from all parts of the Navajo Nations. We have put together a large collection of rugs on our online Trading Post and hope you take time to look through them all. Hopefully, you will find the perfect rug.
The Navajo would have a trade system set up with surrounding communities and distant communities that included tribes from the Plains. That is where most scholars feel they were introduced to the Chief Blanket, since the Navajo do not have Chiefs. The blanket is identified by phases and the contemporary weavings borrow from all of those, plus the addition of freelance designs. We have a large collection of Chief Blankets on the online Trading Post so make sure you check them all out.

Returns Policy
With every purchase we allow for a provisional 30 day inspection period. If for any reason you do not want to keep an item that you have purchased, simply return the item in original condition within 30 days of receipt. You will be refunded the purchase price. Return shipping not included.
We are extremely reasonable, but the inspection offer is provisional--exclusively at our option. This is a service that most companies would only offer to established account customers. Each of our pieces is unique and carefully photographed. If we feel that the returned piece is in any way damaged, or different than the piece that we originally sent, we will return the item to you and no refund will be offered or made.
If you are a regular customer, lets just say, we will be much more generous. Thanks for doing business with Perry Null Trading Co!
