Stunning Navajo Bridle by Robert Johnson with Custom Stand
This exceptional contemporary Navajo-made bridle is the work of Robert Johnson, an award-winning Navajo artist renowned for his masterful silverwork and refined design.
The bridle is accented with 25 pieces of Blue Ridge turquoise, all carefully cut from a single large stone, creating remarkable visual harmony and consistency in color and matrix. A single silver naja set with Blue Ridge turquoise serves as a focal point, complemented by hand-stamped sterling silver bars and large, boldly executed conchos. The silverwork reflects a high level of skill, with crisp stamping and balanced proportions throughout.
Fitted with a modern bit and 84-inch leather reins, the bridle is presented on a custom display stand.
This work not only exemplifies contemporary Navajo design but also directly supports a living Navajo artist, making it especially meaningful for collectors who value both artistic excellence and cultural continuity.
