Description: This vintage Navajo Yei-style pictorial rug is a striking example of handwoven textile art, created by a skilled Navajo artisan in the American Southwest during the 1960s. Rendered in richly balanced earth tones of rust, cream, black, and soft peach, the composition features repeated stylized Yei figures—spiritual beings that symbolize harmony, protection, and connection to the natural and sacred world. Each figure is thoughtfully woven with geometric precision, reflecting generations of Navajo weaving tradition where symbolism, storytelling, and craftsmanship are deeply intertwined. Handwoven from wool using traditional techniques, the rug carries a strong tactile presence and authenticity, with subtle variations that speak to its handmade origin. Originally distributed through a regional trading post or gallery—as indicated by the Garland’s Sedona label—this piece represents the moment when Navajo weaving transitioned from purely cultural practice to highly respected collectible art.
Fun Historical Fact
Yei figures originate from Navajo ceremonial sandpaintings, where they represent Holy People who act as intermediaries between humans and the spiritual world. While true ceremonial designs are not meant to be replicated exactly, Navajo weavers began interpreting these forms into rugs during the 20th century, creating what are now known as Yei or pictorial rugs. By the mid-century period, trading posts and galleries in places like Arizona played a key role in introducing these works to collectors across the United States. Today, these rugs are celebrated not only for their visual impact but also as meaningful expressions of Navajo cultural identity and storytelling.

I was so pleased to find the exact coffee table I've been hunting at Vintage Supply Co. I hesitated to buy it bec they are in CA and I'm in Fl but they had restored it already, and both the price and shipping cost was the best I had found. I'm so glad I did. We exchanged several emails helpful emails after I purchased it, I was contacted by the delivery company about when it would arrive, and it was delivered in perfect condition. I'm really happy with it.

We ordered a chandelier from their site. They were very responsive to emails regarding details about he chandelier, and they were helpful throughout the entire process. The chandelier came double boxed in thick walled boxes and packing peanuts, and it looked exactly the same as it did on the website. We love it and, due to their great customer service, we will likely be ordering more from them as we continue to decorate our home.
