NAVAJO weavings from Seppanen & Daughters FINE TEXTILES are contemporary pieces from various regions of the Navajo nation. These one of a kind textiles offer a direct connection between the Navajo culture and the collector in that the designs, colors and yarns come from the weavers themselves with no interference from designers or production groups.

FINE TEXTILES chooses the most complex examples of this rich art form. Collectors will usually display their Navajo weaving on the wall and we are happy to assist in helping to choose the most effective installation technique to bring out the best in your particular weaving. Seppanen & Daughters is also happy to offer advice in cleaning and moth protection.

Navajo weavings are appropriate for the floor, in which case Seppanen & Daughters can provide the best quality rug pads to extend the life of these functional art pieces.

The creation of a Navajo textile is normally in the hands of one woman, working at home on her hand constructed vertical loom. Certain pieces can take months of work and the sale of these weavings is still an important economic base for the families that live far from the conveniences of modern American life. Designs are no longer representative of the regions of the Navajo nation, a weaver from Ganado may choose to create a Two Grey Hills pattern, this freedom of choice was not as prevalent during the trader era around the turn of the century.

Seppanen & Daughters appreciates this exchange of ideas and the assimilation of modern design influences in the powerful weavings from the Navajo. We are happy to e-mail pictures of Navajo weavings currently in stock.
