Old Style Crystal Rug by Louise Mitchell (Navajo) Dine' (Navajo) textiles have been a popular collectible item for more than 200 years, when other Indian people, as well as the Spanish, sought them as prized possessions. In the early 1900s, traders encouraged weavers to create regional designs with distinctive patterns and colors, including using commercially dyed wool and other materials. Many of these styles, or variations on them, continue today. This magnificent old style crystal rug measures 34.5 inches by 58 inches
