Description

This raised bead work needle case “whimsy” is vintage.  This is a piece of history; it is from the Niagara Falls souvenirs tradition sold by Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people beginning in the 1830s into the 1900s. This needle case is 6.5″ in length x 6.5″ across. The background is brown with old color beads including raspberry sherbet.  .  There is some moth damage on the fold.  There are a few beads missing from the edge beading.  The bead work design is intact. This is a amazing example of this style bead work.

Consider framing them, they would make a stunning piece of wall art.  See some of our examples of framed Niagara beaded bags.  The framing also protects the beadwork and can be hung on the wall.  Check out our other whimsies!!
