FINE ANTIQUE 19C NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN PLAINS SIOUX BEADED BEADWORK CASE NO.2
I will be selling a very large number of interesting antiques including Tribal art, Chinese, Japanese, and European antiques. I will possibly be selling over two days so please check again on FRIDAY as there may be more pieces for sale. PLEASE NOTE: This sale is in GB Pounds Sterling.

This is one of several fine pieces of Native American beadwork I am selling this week and the second of the Plains examples I am selling. This is a 19th Century case of some kind from the Plains and possibly Sioux in origin. It is fully beaded on leather to both sides with the main half of the case made of extremely thick leather and only about 4.5" / 11.5cs long (total length overall 9.5" / 24cms). I am not sure what this would have held, I did think it might be an awl case but I don't think you could fit an object thicker than a knife in it so perhaps it was for a very short knife - certainly something quite small and thin. This is a well used antique piece and considering this it is in good condition with a few areas of wear, some light damage (including one part of the fastening) but it still presents remarkably well, please see the photos below. I am sure this great object would fit in any good collection of Native American beadwork and I am selling this week and I am selling it at a very low starting price and with .

Please read down the entire listing for Dimensions, Condition, Postage & Payment Details - most of the information you will need is here on this page but please get in touch if you don't find what you are looking for. Condition & Dimensions Good overall condition. Some missing beads and some wear to the leather and other light damage all as photographed but nothing too serious.

It is about 9.5" / 24cms long.

Postage & Packing For your peace of mind and mine items will be sent fully insured. I will be posting from WEDNESDAY 27TH MARCH so please make payment as early as possible. PLEASE be a little patient with the post - I will get them posted asap but I work on my own, often have a fair amount to post and I do pack carefully. I also post in the order that things are paid for.

Any delays by the postal services either at my end or abroad are rarely my fault. I always post out at the latest 3 working days after receiving cleared payment but sometimes an item is slowed up by a backlog of post or delayed whilst being processed through customs. To give you an idea it generally takes about 3-7 working days within Europe and 9 - 14 working days to the U.S. / rest of the world. If speed is of the essence then I can use a courier (DHL / FEDEX etc.) but prices for couriers start at around £30 / £40GBP for the very smallest object and VERY quickly escalate depending on size, weight and destination. Please note also that there has been a considerable hike in postage prices by the Royal Mail this year. I add on very little, often not enough to cover the packaging materials, so the price I quote really is as fair as possible.
