Ex Rex Arrowsmith Estate: Arrowsmith was a long-time Native American trader and art dealer, who owned a shop in Santa Fe, New Mexico ‘Relics of the Old West,’ which opened off the Old Santa Fe Trail in 1950. He also participated as a judge at the Santa Fe Indian Market for many years, and served as president of SWAIA, Southwestern Association for Indian Arts. Please reference item T90105-1111-001. Handspun blankets of the late 19th century are known as Transitional Blankets because they signaled the end of Navajo blanket production and ushered in the era of the Navajo rug.
