Juan Lorenzo Hubbell was, by most accounts, the leadingtrader of the early Navajo Rug Period and owned several trading posts aroundthe Reservation as well as a large warehouse in the railroad town of Winslow,Arizona. Hubbell’s home and base of operation were at Ganado, Arizona about 50miles south of Canyon de Chelly. Hubbell guided his weavers by displayingpaintings of rug patterns he favored. Many of these paintings can still be seenat the original trading post, now preserved and operated as a National HistoricSite. Weavers around the nearby trading post at Klagetoh, Arizona (also ownedby Hubbell) often worked in the same colors and patterns as Ganado, butreversed the color scheme and used a grey ground with red, white and blackcentral motifs. The Ganado and Klagetoh style Navajo rugs continue to be madeto this day and are among the most popular of all Navajo rug designs.
