NATIVE ARTS Trading

Welcome to Native Arts Trading

Having been in business for 25 years, our intent is to continue to offer custom made Native American | Plains Indian pieces that will produce heirlooms for generations to come. We specialize in historically accurate custom hand made items of the North American Indian. This comprises of museum replicas, headdresses | war bonnets, weapons | regalia and collectibles. Each art piece is created on an individual basis by honoring that person with a visionary process - combined with research. This honors the traditions of the past and the present.

When making a piece for a client, we utilize authentic traditional materials such as earth pigment paints, combined with complete love and care. Each piece is hand sewn using glass beads, smoked or brain tanned skins, traditional designs, earth pigment paints, and fringes are all cut by hand. We use old seed beads from the 1800's and early 1900's for certain a projects. Love and energy to protect and honor is incorporated into each creation.We take extreme care when replicating a piece by researching it thoroughly. (see About Us)

 

Much of the work is sent back to collectors in the States and also to clients worldwide - including to many native people, museums, corporations and the film / theatre industry.We painstakingly age each piece to provide and authentic old appearance as though it was originally from the 1800's. Although we do not have a walk-in store, why not drop by for a visit when in Scotland.
