Authentic Navajo rugs for sale, direct from the weavers
If you are looking for genuine Navajo rugs for sale, you have found them. Nizhoni Ranch Gallery in Sonoita, Arizona offers one of the largest selections of authentic Navajo rugs and Navajo blankets available today, from contemporary Churro wool weavings to historic textiles more than a century old.
Steve and Gail Getzwiller built the gallery on long friendships and direct dealings with the most talented Navajo weavers. Now that Steve has passed, his wife Gail is determined to continue helping the Navajo weaving tradition stay alive. Buying direct from the weavers means fair prices for the artists and the finest Navajo rugs for collectors.
The Churro Collection was commissioned by the Getzwillers and woven by master Navajo weavers from hand-spun Churro wool. Many of the Navajo rugs on this site have hung in museums or won awards at the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial. Whether a weaving costs $400 or $40,000, every one is a genuine, hand-woven Navajo rug.

Buying a Navajo rug: common questions
Where can I buy an authentic Navajo rug?
Buy from a dealer who knows the weaver and the rug's history, and who will put both in writing. Every contemporary rug at Nizhoni Ranch Gallery is bought directly from the Navajo weaver who made it and comes with her name and story. Browse our authentic Navajo rugs for sale, or book a visit to the gallery in Sonoita, Arizona.
How can I tell if a Navajo rug is authentic?
A Navajo rug is woven on an upright loom with a single continuous warp, so it has no sewn-on fringe. A fringe usually means the rug was made somewhere else. Look for hand-processed wool, small irregularities along the edges, and a seller who names the weaver. Selling an imitation as Native-made is illegal under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. Read how to avoid a knock-off Navajo rug.
How much is a Navajo rug worth?
Value depends on age, size, design, weaving quality, condition and the weaver. Our weavings range from a few hundred dollars for small pieces to well over $100,000 for historic Chief blankets. If you own one already, start with what is my grandmother's rug worth?
What is the most famous Navajo blanket?
The Chief blanket. Navajo weavers made them in three phases through the 1800s, and they were traded across the West to leaders of many tribes. Early examples are among the most valuable textiles in American art. See the three phases of Chief blankets and our Chief blankets for sale.
What are the main Navajo rug styles?
Most styles are named for the trading post region where they developed: Two Grey Hills, Teec Nos Pos, Ganado, Crystal, Wide Ruins and Burntwater. There are also Yei and pictorial weavings. Compare all the Navajo rug styles.
