About
Native American beadwork gauntlets with Indian Chiefs in feathered headdresses, probably souix, Ca 1880-90
Native American beadwork gauntlets with beautiful graphics and endearing wear. Made of doeskin, the imagery includes colorfully dressed Indian chiefs, in feathered headdresses, facing one-another. Made circa 1880-1890, many of these types of gauntlets were sold to soldiers and were popular during the Indian Wars (1866-1890) and the Spanish-American War (1898) era. Most likely these particular examples saw use in wild west shows, which were immensely popular at the time.
Mounting: The antique, solid walnut molding has a press-decorated edge, retains its original, black, varnished surface and gilded liner, and dates to the period between 1860 and 1880. The gauntlets have been hand-stitched to 100% hemp fabric. Spacers keep the textiles away from the glass, which is U.V. protective.
Condition: Significant soiling and moderate to significant wear from obvious use.
