Northern California Native American Deer Skin Beaded Gauntlets Appraised Dr Lori

These Northern California Native American deer skin beaded gauntlets are a unique and handmade piece of cultural heritage. Measuring 11 inches long, they'll fit a woman's small or child's hand, they are crafted with deer skin, canvas, fringe and beads by skilled artisans with a tribal affiliation in Northern California. The hand-stitched construction and late 19th-century age add to the authenticity and historical value of this piece, making it a prized collectible for those interested in Native American cultures and traditions. These gloves have heavy wear on the finger tips, the interior canvas and calico are heavy stained with wear spots. The beads are irregularly sized and have heavy dust between them.

To preserve historical integrity, the gauntlets have not been cleaned or repaired. This pair of gauntlets was appraised in February 2025 by Dr Lori Verderame; this listing utilizes information and values she provided.
