Large Navajo Rugs & Weavings — Rare Commission-Scale Textiles for Floor & Wall

A large Navajo weaving is one of the rarest objects in American textile history. Antique pieces over six feet in length were almost never woven speculatively — they were made to order, commissioned through a trading post, and assigned only to the most skilled weavers on the reservation, given that a single piece could take a year or more to complete on a loom stretching the full length of a room. That rarity is exactly why The Gordon Collection has spent over 50 years actively seeking out exceptional large-format Navajo weavings, both vintage and contemporary.

Today, a large authentic Navajo rug does what no mass-produced area rug can: it anchors a room with genuine history, handcraft, and artistic intention. Interior designers — from Frank Lloyd Wright's Arts and Crafts-era interiors to the pages of Architectural Digest today — have consistently reached for large Navajo weavings as the defining element of a space. Whether placed as a floor rug in a great room, a dining room, or a study, or installed as a dramatic wall hanging in a high-ceilinged entryway or living space, a large Navajo weaving commands attention in a way that no reproduction or decorative textile can replicate.

Our large Navajo collection spans multiple regional styles and periods — Ganado, Klagetoh, Two Grey Hills, Transitional, and more — in a range of sizes from generous accent rugs to truly room-sized statement pieces. Because large-format weavings are inherently harder to source and rarer to find in strong condition, our gallery selection extends well beyond what is listed online. Contact us directly for dimensions, condition reports, and photographs of any piece — our Telluride gallery team has the expertise and inventory to help you find exactly the right weaving for your space.
