Navajo Germantown weaving, ca. 1890's. Good condition, some moth damage on one side only. Very fine, tight weave. Size is known as a Sampler. Hand-woven from yarn made in Germantown Pennsylvania. 


In the 1800's, the government provided the Navajo with brightly-colored yarns for their weavings after all their sheep were killed and their lands taken away from them. Weavings with these colorful yarns eventually became known as Germantown rugs because of where the yarns originated from Germantown, Pennsylvania. It also dates these textiles around 1870's to 1890's, because that is when the yarn was only provided to them. A unique piece of American history.


Measures: 21 1/2" x 20 3/4"
