What a great story. So wonderful to see someone like that man profit from ancestor's purchase! The rug IS unusual and beautiful. I studied Navajo rugs earlier this year when I made my 2 Navajo quilts, and I didn't see a single Chief's rug like it. Similar, but not exactly like it.

What a wonderful story. Many many years ago, I worked on a ranch in Colorado the summer that I graduated from high school. I spent all of my summer earnings on a Navajo blanket I had fallen in love with.
It does not have the provenance that this blanket does but it is my prized possession. I loved the story you shared and this man's good fortune!

I love this story. I teared up as the bids went higher and higher. This man seems like a genuine really nice guy that has has some very bad luck. I wish him the best with his new found wealth and hope he has the wisdom to handle it carefully.
