Haudenosaunee Glengarry Cap c. 1875. Glass seed beads beaded in the Niagara Floral style, beaded on cotton velveteen.

“This hat style was developed by the Scottish Highlanders around 1800 (Glengarry bonnet). 19th century Hudson’s Bay Company trade invoices indicate that large quantities of these hats were imported for trade. The Haudenoseone would embellish them with dyed tufted moosehair, and later beadwork.”

Haudenosaunee (specific nation unknown), c. 1850 - 1860. material; cotton plain weave, velvet, glass seed beads, metal sequins.

Haudenosaunee beadwork in this style (characteristics such as big ovate flowers and thick stems) are referred to as the Niagara Floral style, as these were primarily sold in Niagara Falls, NY. This style arose later on (1850s onward), before that, beadwork styles were generally more ‘geometric’, depicting many different things.
