Folk Art Doors and Gates

FOLK ART STYLE

Folk art is a genre of art that shares the creator’s traditions, offering not just an artistic display but an opportunity to learn about a culture. Antique, new and vintage folk art typically reflects a heritage or location. It can include utilitarian objects and handmade art as diverse as weather vanes, duck decoys, portraiture and paintings, carnival art and quilts.

Quilts are a quintessential part of American folk art but their roots are international, with quilting dating back to Ancient Egypt. The practice spread to Europe and was especially prominent in the Middle Ages, with one of the oldest surviving examples being the Tristan quilt made in Sicily in the 14th century. They were made as bedcovers and clothing, including as a layer for knights to wear beneath their armor. Native American folk art includes functional objects reflecting their heritage, such as baskets, textiles and wooden pieces.

Elsewhere, the vast range of work associated with Mexican folk art includes masks made by Mexican craftspeople for traditional celebrations and ceremonial dances. Mexican masks are part of the country’s folk-art traditions that go back thousands of years and play a role in festivals and theater.

Works in the folk art tradition are valuable because of the skills involved, like weaving, hand-carving wood and even stonework. Many folk artists are self-taught, while some train as apprentices within their community. By using available materials and taking a personal approach to their creations, artists ensure each piece is unique and conveys a story.

During the Great Depression, artistic materials in America were hard to come by, so artisans used discarded wood from cigar boxes and shipping crates to make highly stylized, notched pieces — most often picture frames and boxes — that are today sought after by collectors. This folk art style is called tramp art and was popular from roughly 1870 until the 1940s.

Folk art brings vibrant culture and traditions into your home. Browse an extensive collection of antique, new and vintage folk art on 1stDibs.

Polished Solid Brass Batlló door handle by Antoni Gaudi, 20th century design

Solid cast brass with polished finish. A company that has always attributed such great importance to the author of the designs could never forget the great figures in history. That is why the BD catalogue of contemporary creations has always included those by admired classical masters. Antoni Gaudí (1852/1926) is, without doubt, the most internationally well-known Spanish architect. But is not only his buildings and brilliant architectural solutions that have travelled the globe. His integrated conception of architecture led him to pay attention, not only to structural calculations, but also to all the decorative elements, including furniture, that would form part of the building. The admiration felt by modern designers for the furniture designed by Gaudí has not gone unnoticed by BD which was the first company to rescue them from history by embarking on their serial production using...

"Punch" Figural Cast Iron Doorstop, circa 1885
Located in Incline Village, NV
The subject matter depicts the proverbial 16th century stage character "Punch", of “Punch and Judy” notoriety. He is sitting on a stack of books with a dog (Toby) by his side. The finely detailed and intricate iron casting portrays "Punch" in all his colorful clothing gear. He is hand painted with a green vest and a gold ribbon center seam; black boots with gold boot straps; red stockings; red, green and brown hat; lifelike flesh tones to his face; a multi colored green, red, and black collar; and a flesh painted hand protruding from a white shirt cuff complete "Punch's" colors. He is holding in his right hand, what appears to be, a white hat with a black and white feather, which matches the feather atop his dog's black top hat. The dog "Toby" is painted brown, with a collar that matches that of Punch. A black muzzle, white eyes and a black pupil complete the dog's coloring. The base has gold painted highlights over a black base. The entire rear of the doorstop is painted black. I went into great detail on the colors because an authentic original example should be hand painted in these colors, as depicted in the authoritative reference book "Doorstops" by Jeanne Bertoia on page 66. It is rarely found in this much paint (all original) and in this excellent condition. After all, it was a doorstop. The integrity of the paint is validated by close examination with a magnifying glass in addition to accurate color rendition under black light. This example is all original with no repairs, no repaint, and no restoration; very attractive and of fine quality. It was manufactured in England, circa 1880s.
