Taos Trading Post About Us
We have always enjoyed an interest in the enchanting southwest and mesoamerican ancient and contemporary art. Originally, in the early 1980's, Navajo blankets or rugs shopping, was a mission to adorn our own home with authentic Native American art. As time passed we cultivated our interest in Navajo blankets, rugs and weavings. We decorated a second home, rug shopped for friends, acquired clients, and a pleasurable hobby transformed into our business, Taos Trading Post. Living in the Taos New Mexico area, notably the hub of Native American art, a short excursion affords our opportunity to regularly visit the Navajo reservation; and personally evaluate the Navajo rugs and blankets we fittingly select.
Good quality Navajo weavings are heirloom investments, and will increase in value. Taos Trading Post does not trade antique Navajo blankets or museum quality Navajo tapestries of 80 or more wefts per running inch; either commanding up to $10,000 or more. Our strategy, is to cater to the average buyer; we specialize in contemporary authentic high quality good to fine Navajo weavings. We include our pledge, a Navajo Native American Indian Certificate of Authenticity, with every Navajo rug we sell.
Experts assert prices for good quality Navajo blankets and Navajo weavings increased 700% from the mid 1960's to mid 1980's, and over the past 20 years, is increasing by 10 to 20% per year. Navajo weaving has been in existence for approximately 300 years. Unquestionable, This Native American art will undergo further change, and one possibility is a decline. The more optimistic view is that Navajo weaving is on the threshold of widespread public acceptance for what it is, an art form. Today, rug production is high, the quality is excellent and rug prices continue to climb. It is our hope this pattern continues, and Americanization will not someday be the demise of Navajo weaving and this Native American art. In either event, buying a Navajo rug is a good investment.
