A JB Moore Revival patterned Navajo rug draws its design from the iconic works of JB Moore, a prominent early 20th-century trader who significantly influenced Navajo weaving. Moore is best known for his 1911 mail-order catalog, "The Navajo: Weaving Patterns Book," which showcased traditional and innovative rug designs. He introduced these patterns to a global audience, including the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco (World's Fair), blending traditional Navajo motifs with intricate geometric designs to appeal to non-Native buyers. Modern renditions of these patterns honor traditional Navajo weaving techniques while incorporating updated color palettes and subtle design adaptations, reflecting the dynamic evolution of Navajo artistry
