Hubbell’s home andbase of operation were at Ganado, Arizona about 50 miles south of Canyon deChelly. His tastes ran to Classic Navajo Period weavings and many of the earlyrugs made by Ganado area weavers were close enough in appearance to classicmantas and serapes to have earned the generic name, Hubbell Revival rugs.Hubbell guided his weavers by displaying paintings of rug patterns he favored.Many of these paintings can still be seen at the original trading post, nowpreserved and operated as a National Historic Site. Hubbell preferred a colorscheme of red, white, and black, with natural greys, often substituting blackfor elements that would have been indigo blue in Classic Period weavings. Bythe 1930s, Ganado area weavers had thoroughly adopted the color scheme, but hadmoved away from Classic-inspired weavings to new patterns with a large centralmotif often a complicated diamond or lozenge shape with a double or triplegeometric border. These rugs frequently had a deep red ground or field on whichthe central motif was superimposed, and are now known as the Ganado regionalstyle.
