A Very Rare and Early Northwest Coast Maternity Figure
Located in London, GB
A Very Rare and Early Northwest Coast Maternity Figure Aged patina through handling Wood Kwakiutl (Kwakwaka ‘wakw’) Northwest Coast America / Nootka 19th Century SIZE: 20cm high - 8 ins high PROVENANCE: Adam Prout, UK Ex Private collection The elegant seated female figure holds her baby upon her knees, cradling the suckling infant’s head. The female figure displays a very distinctive ‘conical’ shaped hair-style, although the domed forehead, which was flattened artificially, was practiced by the Kosimo (Salish). The Kwakiutl are one of several indigenous First Nations that inhabit the western coast of British Columbia, Canada, from central and northern Vancouver Island to the adjacent mainland coast. The Kwakwaka'wakw, or ‘Kwak´wala-speaking people’, live along the Pacific Northwest coast of British Columbia. The tribes once numbered twenty-eighty, who lived on northern Vancouver Island and the adjacent mainland. They are known for the ‘potlatch’ ceremony which in Kwak'waka literally means ‘to give’. The ceremony marks all the important moments in the life of the Kwakwaka’wakw: birth, marriage and death in particular. It is a jubilant celebration organised by the chief of a tribe or a host, during which offerings are offered, masks exhibited and dances staged. Much of our early knowledge about the Kwakiutl is attributed to Franz Boas...

Vintage American Hand Hooked Rug in a Geometric Block Pattern in Pastel Colors
Located in Barrington, IL
19th Century hand hooked rug in a free form design, We are intrigued with the novelty and the imagination of the maker in creating such a wonderful and rare design in earth tone colors. The hooked rugs from the late 19th and early 20th centuries are made with recycled old material, often used clothing that had been cut into narrow stripes. The foundation of hooked rugs is generally burlap material which the maker uses the stenciling technique to transfer the pattern into the surface. Once the design has been transferred to burlap, it would then be filled with the recycled material stripes and more recently yarn using the hooking technique. Because of the delicacy in the material and construction of vintage hand hooked rugs...

An American Civil War Era African American Southern Quilt From the Deep South
Located in Barrington, IL
An American Civil War era African American Southern quilt circa the 1860-1870s from Alabama or Georgia in the American deep south.  The quilt is hand stitched from wool and homespun blankets.   The design consists of squares of diagonally stitched pieces of clothing material in navy blue, brown, red and gray pieces.  The material is probably clothing from the American Civil War era that has been repurposed into this beautiful folk art creation by African Americans in the deep south.   The backing of the quilt is made of red and gray stripe textile.   19th century African American Southern Quilts have become very collectable and extremely desirable.  From the collection of an attorney who has been practicing Civil Rights Law in the deep south states including Alabama and Georgia, with the interest of the African American Civil War era folk art creations.
