- MONTANA NORTHERN PLAINS INDIANS DEER
MONTANA NORTHERN PLAINS INDIANS DEER FOOT QUIRTFeatured in this lot is a deer foot handled riding quirt from the Northern Plains Indians in Montana. The early vintage piece shows a sinew sewn braided leather or rawhide handle with deer foot hoof and sinew sewn saddle leather ends. This also has a saddle leather and braided rawhide loop remnant. Northern Plains Tribes included Assiniboine (Yankton Sioux), Blackfeet, Crow (Apsaalooke), Plains Cree, Plains Chippewa (Ojibwa), Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara, Lakota. A quirt, or short riding whip, was used to urge a horse to greater speed. But Native warriors also used them to “count coup.” A warrior would gallop up to an enemy in battle and, instead of killing him, would touch him with his quirt or with a special coup stick. In good overall condition, nice patina observed throughout. Handle is 8.75"L, overall length is 25.5"L
- TWO “ EN TOUS CAS” UMBRELLASCa.
TWO “ EN TOUS CAS” UMBRELLASCa. 1900-A French “Bétaille” delicate one for “Her” with a charming pinecone shaped and fire gilt knob on a snake wood pole-shaft with brass end tip, U-shaped steel ribs and stretchers and a brass sliding runner is marked “BETAILLE, 20 PALAIS ROYAL”. The canopy of the umbrella is made up of 8 royal blue silk panel sections with matching tie wrap and black horn popper and turned horn rib tips. H. 1 ½” x ¾”, O.L. 38 ½” An English “Brigg” slightly larger one for “Him” with a flat and round green shagreen and bone knob on a malacca and shaved bamboo pole-shaft with bone end tip, U-shaped “PARAGON, S. Fox & Co. LIMITED” steel ribs and stretchers and a brass sliding runner marked “BRIGG & SONS LONDON”. The canopy of the umbrella is made up of 8 black silk panel sections with matching tie wrap and mother of pearl popper and turned bone rib tips. It was a British invention with a French name and dates back to the 1880, when H. 2 ¾” x 1”, O.L. 38 ¼” “En Tous Cas” is the marketing name for a slender, hybrid style type of umbrella which is, as its name says, “suitable for all occasions”. Being neither too heavy nor too frivolous, it could be used either as an umbrella or a parasol by the lady and either an umbrella or a cane by the gentleman. It was undeniably a British, invention with a French name and dates back to the 1880’s. Brigg were not the only makers of these, but they were one of their big sellers, especially with women. Both En Tous Cas survived in superb initial condition. The first Bétaille one was used and shows some wear to the blue silk, the second Brigg one was never opened, still retains the initial factory-tying band on the bone tips and a natural color linen cover to the canopy. Bétaille was a luxury umbrella manufacturer in Paris. The boutique was located at rue Royale 5 from 1880 to 1939. The goodwill and stock of the firm were bought out by Thomas Brigg & Sons in 1919. Their products included wedding baskets, presents, walking sticks and riding whips. The main focus lay however in the production and sale of umbrellas for the upper end. Paris at that time was one of the centers of the production of umbrellas. Customers included royal courts of Europe and the international upper classes. Umbrellas by Bétaille are included in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Brigg Umbrella Co. was established in London in 1836, later changing its name to Brigg & Son and becoming the leading cane maker of his generation, possibly the greatest cane manufacturer and retailer of all times. The firm’s main branches were in London 23, St. James's street and Paris 33, Avenue de l'Opéra. According to their catalog at the turn of the 20th century, they also had agencies in Nice, Madrid, Naples and Rome. For those in the know, Brigg became synonymous with gentleman luxury items and canes in particular. Its unique position in cane history and European culture owed much to the historical luminaries who wore Brigg canes, including, among others, Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, Churchill as well as the famous writers who mentioned Brigg in their works, like Pushkin, Balzac and Victor Hugo. It is said that Brigg holds a special place in our cultural heritage because its founder set the standards by which all fine cane making has since been judged.
