Ganado,Arizona was the home and base of operations for Juan Lorenzo Hubbell – who, bymost accounts, was the leading trader of the early Rug Period and owned severaltrading posts around the Reservation, as well as a large warehouse in therailroad town of Winslow, Arizona. Ganado is about 50 miles south of Canyon deChelly. Hubbell’s tastes ran to Classic Navajo Period weavings and many of theearly rugs made by Ganado area weavers were close enough in appearance toclassic mantas and serapes to have earned the generic name, Hubbell Revivalrugs. Hubbell guided his weavers by displaying paintings of rug patterns hefavored. Many of these paintings can still be seen at the original tradingpost, now preserved and operated as a National Historic Site. Hubbell preferreda color scheme of red, white, and black, with natural greys, often substitutingblack for elements that would have been indigo blue in Classic Period weavings.By the 1930s, Ganado area weavers had thoroughly adopted the color scheme, buthad moved away from Classic-inspired weavings to new patterns with a largecentral motif often a complicated diamond or lozenge shape with a double ortriple geometric border. These rugs frequently had a deep red ground or fieldon which the central motif was superimposed, and are now known as the Ganadoregional style.
