1 SCRT Technical Bulletin 234 Cedric Street*Leesburg, GA*31763* * (fax) Genuine Navajo Rugs vs. Fake Navajo Rugs Navajo rugs - Fakes, Counterfeits, Imitations, Reproductions... The differences in fake Navajo rugs. Circumstances: Dealers selling fake Navajo rugs: Few Indian arts dealers will openly attempt to sell knock-off Navajo rugs. Most dealers are virtuous when it comes to selling outright fakes and are cautious of the scrutiny from other dealers. However there are some Indian arts stores that sell Ukraine knock-offs along side the real thing, an inherently deceptive practice. The stores that sell fake Indian jewelry will think nothing of selling a fake rug from Pakistan as a true Navajo rug. Also sometimes a dealer may have an imitation Navajo rug and not even realize it (or may not want to know). Designers selling home furnishing items. Home furnishing stores, home accessory stores and the like sell imitation or reproduction Navajo rugs. Very few will attempt to deceive the customer but a clerk may not know the difference between real Navajo rugs and imitations. These rugs are sold as decorative home furnishing items and could be considered imitations or reproductions. Navajo Indians selling fake Navajo rugs. It is not uncommon to see Navajo tribes people selling imitation Navajo rugs along the roadsides in Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. Just because you bought from a genuine Navajo woman, does not mean you got a genuine Navajo rug. This practice is particularly deplorable and undermines the market for authentic Indian made articles. The only dependable way for a buyer to know a fake Navajo rug from the genuine article, is to learn to recognize the differences. You can determine a fake Navajo rug if you know what to examine... How Navajo rugs are made Navajo rugs are woven on an upright loom. What makes a Navajo rug unique in all the world is that the warp thread (the thread that runs the entire length) is continuous. That is it starts at one corner, runs up the entire length, turns around, goes back down, turns around and so forth. The length of the rug is therefore predetermined so the design has to end when the length of the rug has been reached. The warp loops are attached on the top and bottom of the loom by way of cords that alternate through each warp loop and are whipped onto a stick or dowel rod. This way of warping the rug is time consuming and makes it much harder to weave. With very few exceptions, all genuine Navajo rugs will have reversing warp thread at both ends. No other weavings in the entire world are made this way. There are a few types of Navajo rugs that are exceptions: the "Gallup Throw" and some Germantown and Transitional period rugs that have warp ends that are tied off at one end only.
2 The fakes or reproductions that are generally encountered originate in Mexico, Ukraine, India and Pakistan with a few forgeries made in the United States. The fake rugs from Mexico are woven on a horizontal Spanish/European style loom. The warps are attached at each end. There may be a cabled bundle of warps at each side to provide dimensional stability during weaving. There will be no side cords as in a genuine Navajo rug. Navajo Loom When the rug is finished it is detached but will now have the warp ends dangling from each end. To fake a Navajo rug it is now necessary to darn the ends back into the body of the rug. While doing this, a non functional set of end cords is applied. Side cords might also be attached in order to complete the fake. End on Genuine Navajo rugs The way that you can tell a fake Navajo rug is by examining the ends to see if the warps were tucked back in or if they are truly continuous. If they are tucked in, then every other warp area will have two threads as is illustrated below:
3 End of Mexican Fake Also, if there is a bundle of warps at the edge of each side, then it is unlikely that the rug is genuine. Very few Navajo rugs will have such bundles and even then there would be only two or three warp threads that would make up that bundle. Most Navajo rugs have side cords as I described and no Navajo rugs have warp thread fringe at both ends. Side cords Also unique to Navajo rugs is the use of side cords. These cords function as the edge warps on each side. They consist of two or three cords that alternate along the edge. Most but not all Navajo rugs will have side cords. Side of Navajo Rug Section Lines Many Navajo rugs will have what Indian arts dealers call, "lazy lines." It is an inaccurate and insulting term that I hope will be replaced by the term, "Section Line." The section line is a diagonal joint or break in the weave where a weaver has worked on a single section of the rug without having to reach all the way across the rug. She weaves one section, then moves over and weaves another section. This creates the diagonal line. Not all Navajo rugs have section lines. I have not encountered any fakes that have section lines.
4 "Section Line" End borders The end borders in Mexican imitation Navajo rugs are generally much wider than in a genuine Navajo rug. Side borders are often wider as well. End finishes If the rug has fringe at both ends that are extensions of the warps, then it is not a genuine Navajo rug. Materials Wool is the standard material used in the making of a Navajo rug. There are a few genuine Navajo rugs made using synthetic materials such as acrylic. If encountering one, it could be looked at as the result of a Navajo woman weaving her own cheap knock-off. In such case, it probably doesn't matter is it is real or not. The imitators also use wool but there are poor fakes made in Mexico that use polyester. Some fakes made in India or Pakistan use a blend of wool and polyester. Contrary to another author, sniffing the rug to determine if the rug is made from wool is absurd. Much of the wool use in contemporary Navajo rugs has very little lanolin and doesn't smell at all. Older rugs may have been cleaned or have acquired other odors. It is comic to watch a potential buyer go through a store's inventory sniffing each rug. A buyer should learn to distinguish the look and feel of wool from other materials. While there are more scientific means of testing for wool, they are usually not practical in the context of purchasing a rug from a store or individual or Indian arts dealer. Mexican Rugs Zapotec and other Mexican knock-offs often have wide end borders, end cords that are added after the rug is woven. The warp ends will be tucked along side the adjacent cut warp ends. It should be noted that many knock-offs, regardless of origin, use designs taken directly from photos in books. Zapotec are the #1 makers of counterfeit Navajo rugs. Virtually their entire industry is devoted to making fakes and knock-offs. They make the most convincing fakes. Ukraine Rugs Rugs woven in the Ukraine will be good reproductions of Navajo rug designs. The sides selvages have bundled warps and the ends will be nicely hand serged. These rugs are really
5 flatwoven rugs with southwestern or Navajo style designs. Unfortunately they are often sold as the genuine article in Indian arts stores. India and Pakistani Rugs These fakes are really just dhurries in Navajo rug designs. Some of the better fakes use good quality wool or a wool and polyester blend. Some really bad ones use polyester yarn. Dhurries are very cheap even in the more intricate patterns. The side selvages have bundled warps and the ends will be hand serged. American Rugs Any handmade imitation Navajo rug made in the United States would probably be woven with the firm intentions of deceiving the buyer. There would hardly be any other reason for a American non-indian to put in the time and effort required to weave a convincing fake. Because of the economics and the work required, there are very few US made fake Navajo rugs.
