Cowboy & Indian Antiques
Whether you are a merchant, decorator, or collector ~ adding a touch of VINTAGE adds character to your space.
I am excited to share Sweeney’s Emporium with you today!! A collector and dealer for over 40 years, Fred Sweeney is passionate about his trade, and his customers. Here is a sneak peek at what you may find at Sweeney’s Emporium…
This vintage pin {LEFT}, picturing an Indian Brave, was designed for the Omaha Stockyards. I would love to use it as a bright addition pinned to a cowhide pillow. That is just the kind of detail on a sofa or guest bed that sets an interior apart and makes it fabulous!!
Hey BUFFALO, NY!! This vintage wooden sign {ABOVE} is too perfect for words… I can just picture it in a kitchen on the next cover of Country Living!!
Thought to be an original photo with a color added
process {ABOVE}, this vintage image of an indian family {it’s marked Copyright 1899} is certainly one to be treasured. The image’s mat measures 11″ x 14″ making it perfect for hanging on your television armoire!! Right or wrong, the doors on our TV armoire are always open so I decided to hang pictures on them… why not?? Here’s the idea:
Vintage Cowgirl Gauntlets like those {ABOVE} show off nicely in a Shadow Box Coffee Table. Line the Shadow Box Coffee Table with a brown and white cowhide - then add the Cowgirl Gauntlets paired with vintage cowgirl photos
In a previous lifetime I spent 10 lovely days touring Paris. During that trip I visited Euro Disney Disney Land Resort Paris where I attended the Buffalo Bill Wild West Dinner Show. It was all Euro-Glam but nevertheless touching to see the spirit of the Wild West being re-created half a world away. Since then I have longed for a genuine momento from Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. This 1899 Buffalo Bill Program would be a good start in a collection {ah-hem, Hubby!!} .
