This stunning Navajo First Phase Chief's Wearing Blanket made headlines when it was sold at John Moran Auctioneers' June 19th, 2012 sale in Southern California, smashing the previous world record for a similar blanket. An example of the rarest type of the earliest phase of Navajo blankets, it emerged from obscurity when it was brought into Moran's free appraisal clinic by a man whose family handed it down through the generations, casually using it around the house. The sale of this museum-quality treasure has dramatically changed his life, and made auction history.
This story makes you understand that the quality of workmanship whether a woven blanket or hand-made quilt will always be appreciated. Who knows what your quilt might be worth in one hundred years?
