Circa 1880 Salish Appliqued Moccasins, Native American Plateau, Deer Hide

About the Item

Step into the 19th century with this exceptional pair of antique appliqued moccasins, attributed to the Salish (Flathead) peoples of the Plateau region, circa 1880. These rare moccasins are an outstanding example of traditional Native American craftsmanship, meticulously handmade from native-tanned buckskin (deer hide) and richly adorned with intricate, hand-stitched details. The decorative design features a vivid array of heart and foliate motifs, executed in vibrant shades of red, pink, white, green, and purple. Each motif is carefully sewn in place, reflecting the spiritual symbolism, cultural identity, and artistic heritage of the Salish people. The detailed embroidery and excellent condition of the hide make this pair a rare surviving example of 19th-century Indigenous Plateau footwear. Originating from the Plateau cultural area—which includes present-day Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia—these moccasins are a remarkable piece of North American Indigenous history. Ideal for collectors of Native American artifacts, Western Americana, or ethnographic textiles, they also hold curatorial value for museums and academic institutions focused on Indigenous material culture.
