Our "rug orphans" are otherwise fabulous weavings that have been damaged over time. We offer these weavings because they have historic value, and because with restoration can regain much of their former beauty, and value. As you will see, you can rescue one of our rug orphans at a very reasonable price. |

#4212s | 32" x 42" | There is absolutely nothing "orphan" about this 1940's Ganado, except maybe its price. This is in excellent shape, and a good collection starter. | $500 | Sold |
|
|
#3296 | 36" x 52" | This is a historic 1920's Crystal weaving from the old J.B. Moore trading post. There are two worn areas in the center of the weaving and some edge fray. The colors are vibrant. A great old piece, but still one of our orphans. | $550 | Sold |
|
|
#3205 | 26.25" x 47.25" | This orphan is from back around 1976. While the colors are vibrant and the weaving is in excellent condition, the edges of the weaving aren't exactly what we would call even. We have hung the piece on the wall, and it looks great. Just isn't quite up to snuff. | $350 | Sold |

#2843F | 21" x 24.5" | This weaving is a bit rough, but it is a good example of the pictorial style and a great example of Navajo folk art. | $225 | |

#3223s |
73" x 51" | This old weaving dates back to around 1920 or so. Great design and great colors, but one edge is frayed and there are a couple of snags that make this one a rug orphan. | $650 | |
