Antique Iroquois Whimsy Pin Cushion
Description: HEY! Gun Guys! This one is for your favorite Lady... 1870 Iroquois Beaded Whimsy Pin Cushion The Six Tribes of the Iroquois are masters at beading. The Europeans and their glass trade beads made an impression on the Tribes. European and American fashion encouraged the Iroquois Tribes to alter tribal themes to the Victorian tastes, resulting in hand crafted souvenirs like pin cushions, picture frames, purses, hats and more. The finished product were sold at public social events and tourist attractions like Niagara Falls and areas near Iroquois communities. Some sold at train stations and door to door. Members of Mohawk groups would travel with WILD WEST SHOWS and sell their Whimsies. By the 1860s The Mohawk were creating beautiful Whimsies with 3D like beading on a purple velvet background like this one. Our offering is a lovely Pin Cushion. The back and binding are Linen or Cotton, Glass Beads, and a background of Purple Velvet. The stuffing is most likely straw or grass. The bead pattern shows a bird with wings spread as if to take flight. The border has circular corners with leaves done in silver lined crystal, blue, green, red and yellow. The circle centers, and parts of the bird are smoky tube beads. Through out the work there are scattered random colors as a reminder that only God is perfect. Scalloped edges have beaded loops in different lengths, some of the loops are missing. The main motif is solid with no missing beads or loose threads. A wonderful addition to a Native American collection or a very special piece to enhance the decor of a Victorian home. Payment: Item, can be ordered on line with a credit card or paypal on our sight.
