Beautiful Antique Handmade Iroquois Whimsy Hand Beaded Native,Iroquois tribes around the eastern Great Lakes region made beautiful art using bone and shell in a traditional style unique to them,an ancient art form that stretched back for thousands of years,In the 1500s they began using glass beads they got through trade and by the late 1800s,made pieces,Iroquois tribes around the eastern Great Lakes region made beautiful art using bone and shell in a traditional style unique to them,an ancient art form that stretched back for thousands of years,In the 1500's they began using glass beads they got through trade and by the late 1800's,made pieces specifically to sell to travelers visiting popular tourist attractions such as exhibitions up and down the eastern seaboard,New York State Fairs and tourists going to Niagara Falls,They produced keepsakes like match holders,needle cases and pincushions that became popular with tourists and especially Victorian ladies and became an important part of the Iroquois economy for a time,Our hand stitched pincushion is in the shape of a boot with beaded flowers and leaves,and was probably made sometime between the late 1800's-early 1900's,when the Iroquois were using almost exclusively clear or white beads on bright red fabric and keepsakes in the form of a Victorian ladies boot were a popular tourist motif in that era,They may have developed a fondness for the esthetic because clear beads have a positive nuance associated with them,or maybe crystal beads were more abundant at that time,but also may have been a more practical reason,because one color was easier to keep in stock,and leftovers could be used on the next project,With almost all crystal glass beads against a bright red fabric our pin cushion is a very fine example of the Native American art form,with nice tight beading all around the edges,beaded loops along the bottom and a beaded hanger on top,The back is polished cotton fabric and is most likely stuffed with sawdust,Appealing to anyone who collects pin cushions,sewing notions or who love Native American art and history or are bead work enthusiasts,our whimsy is an example of the raised bead technique the Iroquois are known for,and hearkens back to a time when cultures were learning to exist side by side and the appreciation of a unique art form helped bridge the distance between them,Measuring 8" from the top of the beaded hanger to the bottom of the beaded fringe loops,the boot itself measures 5" long x 4" wide,our whimsy is in very good condition for its age but has a few spots where the red fabric is worn which doesn't affect the integrity of the piece and is normal for these old souvenirs as they are more than 120 years old,The whole thing is firmly packed,the beading shows no sign of unraveling and is very well made,a tribute to the talent of the one who made it,With a pouch on top like these boots often have,our pin cushion has no missing beads,and is intact and tightly sewn,A wonderful piece of bead work unique to the Iroquois of that time,our souvenir will display beautifully,You never know in the moment when you're witness to something that is history in the making or which moment will be important to commemorate,When our whimsey was being created,it's hard to say what emotions went into that creation,or what the consumer felt when they purchased it,But today when we hold a simple pin cushion that represents the history of that era,the tradition that went into creating it and the significance of the peoples who lived it,that simple souvenir becomes history itself and we the recipients of it,For more fabulous vintage finds,check out our shop,All of our packages are shipped standard post,which is normally six day delivery,but the closer we get to the holiday season the longer shipping will take,If you are concerned about the arrival date of your packages,please contact us before you make your purchase,We are always happy to adjust shipping to make sure your packages arrive on time
