Moore starting in 1897. He incorporated a new marketing technique that introduced Anglo-American customers to Navajo weaving through mail order catalogues. Each catalogue had a series of weaving patterns(comma) sizes(comma) qualities(comma) and colors from which the customer could choose. Although rugs were based on the catalogue patterns(comma) no two designs were ever the same. The Old Crystal type of weaving broke with traditional Navajo designs and incorporated popular Near Eastern rug motifs(comma) including adding borders and incorporating a central motif. Also characteristic of the Old Crystal style is a more muted color scheme(comma) with the incorporation of only red and touches of blue for bright colors. This is likely one of the J.B Moore patterns made of natural and aniline dyed wools.

This new trade was funneled through trading posts where synthetic dyes and machine produced wool and yarn were made readily available. Rugs from this transitional period (1868 to 1900) are often characterized as more coarsely woven with very bright colors. This example was woven of natural dyed handspun wool(comma) but has the large(comma) coarse(comma) figures associated with Transitional style. This rug was purchased in Red Lake(comma) or Tonalea(comma) Arizona(comma) in 1908 where a trading post had been established in the late 1800's. AZ Navajo Rugs Red Lake Unprovenienced Rug
