78794 Vintage Rio Grande Chimayo Rug Runner, 02'05 x 09'04. Rio Grande Chimayo banded blankets are traditional weavings from the Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico, known for their horizontal banded patterns and vibrant colors. Originating with early Spanish settlers who introduced sheep and weaving techniques, these blankets were later influenced by Native American designs. Typically made from wool using hand-operated looms, the weavers employ tapestry weaving to create intricate geometric patterns like diamonds, arrows, and zigzags.
These blankets hold significant cultural and artistic value, reflecting the heritage and craftsmanship of their creators. Each piece is unique, often symbolizing aspects of the weaver's culture and environment. While traditional methods are still used, modern weavers may incorporate new materials and designs to suit contemporary tastes. Today, Rio Grande Chimayo banded blankets are prized by collectors and serve as decorative items in homes, representing the rich cultural heritage of the Southwestern United States.
