Folk Art

Folk art is anything unique made by an untrained artist. Folk art includes homemade household items and almost anything handmade for personal use that’s different enough to cause comment. Some think that folk art, like antiques, must be old, but the work now refers to amateur art, both antique and vintage. Folk art is also listed in many categories of Kovels' online price guide under the type of object. See categories such as Box, Cigar Store Figure, Paper, Weather Vane, Wooden, etc. For more information, explore our identification guides for Paper, Advertising, Painted tin, Pottery, Textiles and Games.
