This stunning Navajo rug was the second of eight designs published by Trader J.B. Moore in the 1903 catalogue, an indication of its importance to him. Its excellent condition can be attributed to the skill of the Navajo woman who made it, and measures 94 ½ by 64 ½ Inches. Moore is famous for introducing a variety of new designs and patterns to the Navajo weavers who made rugs in the early 1900s. He oversaw a mail-order operation at New Mexico’s Crystal Trading Post, that allowed customers to select these varying styles. Prices ranged from $1.50 to $7 according to size, pattern and weave.
