Hollywood Regency Style Pair of Philippines Pendants Woven with Sea Shells
Located in Prato, Tuscany
We kindly suggest you read the whole description, because with it we try to give you detailed technical and historical information to guarantee the authenticity of our objects. Original and distinctive pair of Philippines pendants in Hollywood Regency style; they are each made up of more than a thousand shells patiently mounted one by one on a wire frame of typically oriental design; pretty white shells belonging to the coniforms family prevail, while the darker ones are the well-known cyprae; these two objects represent the skill, ingenuity, meticulousness, and patience of Eastern artisans, in fact, they were created in the Philippines between 1970 and 1979 in a small workshop on the island of Cebu in the central Visayas region. They can be used (even outdoors) as dreamcatchers, spirit banishers, or talismans, but also when the wind simply makes them move you can enjoy an ear-pleasing sound that soothes the soul and body; they can also be original indoor chandeliers, ours are already electrified with a light point (see photo), however, more can easily be added. For much of history, shells played a vital role for humans; they were used in everything from money to art. Early Stone Age humans used shells to decorate their jewelry, houses, and boats. In many tropical countries, tribes used shells as currency. The Incas buried shells with their dead. Throughout history, architects and artists incorporated a variety of symbolism into their works, including precisely the shell. Among the ruins at Pompeii, shells used...

Vintage, New and Antique Folk Art

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.
