Values for Vintage and Antique Folk Art

By , About.com Guide

From decorative accessories to toys, folk art takes many shapes and forms. These antiques and collectibles were generally handmade by untrained artists in the classical sense, although techniques used may have been passed on from generation to generation. Many times the origin is unknown, but these pieces tend to reflect the culture of the region where they were produced. This is one area of collecting where beauty and craftsmanship are subjective, and values can vary widely.
