Ganado Red Textiles have long been
coveted by collectors of
Navajo weavings.
Add to or start your collection from Saks Galleries Cherry Creek now.
The small
village of Ganado is located in Arizona and is part of the Navajo Nation. In 1878, Don Lorenzo Hubbell opened his
first trading post, which served the Navajo community offering groceries, horse
tack and the like. Hubbell encouraged the community’s weavers to produce high
quality textiles and marketed them to buyers across the United States.
“Ganado
Red” is a very distinctive deep red dye used in these traditional weavings and
is set against the natural wool colors.
A black or dark border is usually present and the reds are often offset
by grays and white inner designs. The textiles incorporate zigzag lines,
diamond triangles and crosses.
