Native American broadly describes any Indigenous people in North America and encompasses hundreds of tribes and groups, all with distinct cultures. Native American–style furniture and decor likewise varies widely, from pieces created by Indigenous people to those appropriated by non-native designers.
Indigenous furniture’s rich heritage includes the bentwood boxes of the Northwest Coast carved from cedar for storing household or ceremonial objects. Generations of Native American people have made baskets for holding household items, with those in the Northeast using sweetgrass and those in the Southeast using pine needles and wicker. Artisans in the Plateau region wove watertight pieces like cradles from plant materials. Although these objects were intricately made, they were usually utilitarian rather than decorative.
The colonization of North America and the removal of Indigenous people from their lands led to the suppression of these practices. Many styles that used Native American motifs — such as Southwestern style, which was heavily influenced by the geometric patterns of Navajo textiles — have historically not involved Indigenous creators and, instead, have taken their traditions without their tribal context.
When decorating a home with Native American–style furniture, it is important to do so respectfully, by understanding the origins of motifs and objects and examining who profits from their sale. There are now Indigenous-led companies, such as Cherokee designer Cray Bauxmont-Flynn’s Amatoya and Totem House Design, promoting Indigenous work in furniture and home decor. Supporting Indigenous artists and artisans is essential to confronting the still pervasive issue of cultural appropriation in design.

Vintage Native American Horseback Scene Colored Pencil Drawing in Gilt Frame
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
An evocative vintage original colored pencil and graphite drawing depicting a dramatic Native American horseback scene, presented in its original giltwood frame. The composition captures several mounted Indigenous figures riding spirited horses across an open landscape, with one central rider dramatically raising a rifle overhead while wearing a feathered headdress. Executed in graphite with selective colored pencil highlights, the artist creates remarkable movement and energy while allowing the warm toned paper to become an integral part of the composition. The drawing has a wonderful illustrative quality reminiscent of early twentieth-century Western book and magazine illustrations. While unsigned, the work demonstrates confident draftsmanship and thoughtful composition, making it an appealing decorative artwork for collectors of Western Americana and Native American-inspired art. Its neutral palette of warm tans, ivory, brown, black, and muted yellow allows it to blend beautifully into both traditional and contemporary interiors. Presented in a vintage giltwood frame with a decorative molded border. Minor age-appropriate wear to the frame consistent with age. Paper displays an attractive warm patina. Glass and frame are in good vintage condition. Historical Context Throughout the early and mid-20th century, artists remained captivated by imagery of the American West and Native American life. Publishers, illustrators, and independent artists frequently produced drawings celebrating equestrian culture, frontier history, and Indigenous traditions. Works like this bridged fine art and illustration, often emphasizing movement, storytelling, and heroic composition rather than strict documentary accuracy. Today, original vintage Western drawings have become increasingly desirable among designers furnishing ranch homes, mountain retreats, Santa Fe interiors, and Americana collections because they offer authentic age and character while layering beautifully with antique furniture and contemporary design. This drawing would look exceptional: Above an antique campaign chest Over a leather Chesterfield sofa In a Santa Fe adobe home Layered with Navajo textiles Beside antique Native American pottery...
