I just took on a fairly large -- but exciting undertaking. Over the next couple of weeks I will be selling a collection of 50 - 60 Native American Indian vintage/antique items for an elderly gentleman. This individual has collected broadly and well, and has decided to part with his Indian collection at this time. The final two photos show you just some of the items that will be auctioned. He has collected throughout the country for 40+ years, and has some very fine pieces -- in condition, quality and diversity. I queried him to gather as much information as I could on each item. I'm not an expert in Native American items, though I've done some research on his. I'll only be able to list so many auctions at a time, so please don't email me with requests concerning pieces that don't relate to this particular auction. All items will be listed, and -- in fairness to all browsers/bidders -- all auctions will run the full 7 days.

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN THESE AND THE OTHER PIECES I'LL LATER LIST, IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO PUT MY AUCTIONS ON YOUR LIST. I will start all the auctions at $9.99 with NO RESERVE , just as I always have. I only ask that you consider fair market value when bidding. My client can use the funds, and it's a bit difficult for him to part with this particular collection.

This auction is for a ca: 1920s NAVAJO NAVAHO RUG / saddle blanket you see in the first photos. The piece measures 24" wide, and 48" long. While this would certainly function well as a rug, I'm wondering if because of the size it might been made as a saddle blanket. I love this piece -- the natural colors (I'm quite certain that the dyes are natural), and the great geometrics. While the body of this piece is in very nice shape, the edges and corners do have some condition problems. I've tried to give you plenty of photos so you can see the areas w the weaving is loose. I'm certain this can repaired, or you can just consider it patina! I think this piece would be just great framed -- a real statement piece. Thanks for looking, have a great week.
