Navajo Toadlena / Two Grey Hills Wool Rug
For your consideration this lot includes this wonderfully designed Navajo Toadlena / Two Grey Hills Rug. This regional style was started in 1914 by George Bloomfield and Ed Davis at the Toadlena and Two Grey Hills Trading Post. These Navajo rugs are characterized by natural browns, tan, gray, ivory, white, and black. The patterns usually have a central diamond motif and intricate patterns. The Two Grey Hills weavings are noted for their high quality. The trading post is located in northwest New Mexico, south of Shiprock and northeast of the Crystal area. Crownpoint, New Mexico has been home to a gathering of extraordinary Navajo weavers since the early 1900’s including weavers from the Lorenzo Hubbell Trading Post, Teec Nos Pos Trading Post, Toadlena and Two Grey Hills Trading Post and J.B. Moore Old Crystal Trading Post. The rug shows a nice tight weave of 100% wool showing natural colors of black, cream/white, light-medium brown, dark brown, and grey. The rug has immense detail and shows very well-preserved quality condition. Measures 34"W x 50"L
