Navajo Crystal JB Moore Plate 19 Variant Textile$1,250 74.5" x49.5" c.1905Price lowered from $1,400 to $1,250 per the consigner. This is a great early Crystal weaving. J.B. Moore, who owned the trading post at Crystal, New Mexico from 1897-1911, was a visionary trader who exercised enormous influence over early Navajo rug design. Perhaps his most important innovation was to introduce weavers in his region to Oriental rug patterns. Rather than copying wholesale, the Navajo filtered the new patterns through their own cultural sensibilities and personal design preferences. In the process, they drew out specific concepts and motifs, re-synthesizing them into distinctly Navajo designs. Motifs probably derived from oriental rugs include repeated hook shapes (often called latch hooks) as shown in this weaving, the waterbug shaped like an X with a bar through the middle and, in a small number of weavings, rosettes. An even more lasting and fundamental influence was the concept of a large central motif in one, two or three parts, that covers almost all of the ground between the borders, as shown in this weaving. Even the concept of the border itself, usually in two or three layers with at least one in a geometric pattern, is probably traceable to oriental carpet design. Though introduced in the region around Crystal, these motifs and ideas quickly spread to other areas of the Reservation and are found on many rugs woven throughout the past century. Moores influence on Navajo rugs was not only widespread but of long duration. Designs his weavers developed before 1911 were still being made, virtually unchanged, as late as the 1950s. These oriental-influenced patterns are now known as Early Crystal rugs. Those made at the beginning of the century typically featured aniline red with natural whites, browns and greys, while rugs made from the 1920s on tended to rely even more heavily on a wide range of natural wool colors. In 1911, J. B. Moore published a catalog titled "The Navajo." Mr. Moore was the first Indian trader to produce for distribution an illustrated, color, mail-order catalog featuring 30 designs (called plates) of Navajo rugs that one could choose from. Weavers typically used the design as a basis and made variations to each weaving, making each rug unique. T91001-0311-004
