A good way to check the authenticity of your Native American Rug is to look for certain characteristics. You can look for short corner ties connecting the end cords and selvage. There is no better way to ensure the authenticity of your rugs than by buying authentic items. You can even visit the Indian Arts and Crafts Board website to find out more about rugs and other artifacts. Authentic rugs have the right certification stamp, so you can be sure of their origin.

Most Navajo rugs lack a fringe. 99.5% is the most common. If you notice fringe on the piece, ask the seller how they came to determine that it was Navajo. I don't care if their grandmother believed that J. L. Hubbell bought the rug. It's likely that it's not Navajo. Navajo rugs use a continuous figure eight weaving technique. This is a picture of a rug being weaved. You can see these loops at the ends if Navajo rugs are closely examined.

Navajo rug ID begins with the ability to recognize some basic regional characteristics. It is important to remember, however, that every rug, like it's weaver, is an individual. The process of weaving, to the Navajo, is a spiritual one. Each weaver puts her (or occasionally, his) soul and creative energy into the weaving of a rug. Though it may have a characteristic regional design, it will be the interpretation of the weaver that will make that rug its own enduring piece of art. While basic knowledge of regional characteristics is useful in the study of Navajo rug ID, in the Navajo nation today a rug with a regional name such as Two Grey Hills may have actually been woven by a weaver from a completely different region.
