Finding the Right folk-art for You
Folk art refers to a genre of art that shares the creator’s traditions, offering not just an artistic display but an opportunity to learn about a culture. Vintage, new and antique folk art typically reflects a heritage or location. It can include utilitarian objects and handmade art as diverse as weather vanes, portraiture and paintings, carnival art, quilts and duck decoys.
American folk art is frequently valued because of the traditional 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. Native American folk art includes functional objects reflecting their heritage, such as baskets, textiles and wooden pieces.
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 folk art on 1stDibs.
Questions About Red Coral Mala

- What is red coral jewelry?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Red coral jewelry is the term for decorative accessories like necklaces and bracelets that feature a red stone sourced from natural coral. Usually, the coral comes from the Mediterranean sea. On 1stDibs, you can shop a selection of red coral jewelry.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022There are several different methods available to test if your red coral is authentic. Red coral beads should be smooth to the touch, not rough, even when examined up close. Another easy test is to drop them in a glass of milk and see if the milk changes to a red color. If the milk turns red, then your red coral is the real deal. Since imitation red coral is often made of glass, you can also give it a tap and see if it feels like glass. On 1stDibs, you’ll find a collection of expertly-vetted red coral jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 24, 2021To identify if the red coral is real, put your stone in a glass of milk. If the milk changes color, your stone is a real one. Additionally, you can view it through a magnifying glass. If you observe a texture, your red coral is genuine — a fake one will generally be smooth with no texture. Find red coral jewelry on 1stDibs.
