 The term Americana refers to cultural artifacts that are related to the history, folklore, geography and cultural heritage of the United States. A wide variety of items are categorized as “Americana”, including paintings, prints, drawings, license plates, household objects, tools, weapons, flags, plaques and statues. The items involved need not be old, but must be relevant to the themes of patriotism and nostalgia. Items listed here can generally be described as folk art, meaning that they are products of popular culture. These collectible antiques were created for utilitarian and decorative purposes, unlike fine art, which is purely aesthetic. While antique folk art is collected based mostly on its artistic merit, it was never intended to be art for art’s sake. Items commonly offered in this category include weathervanes, old store signs, carved figures, portraits by itinerant painters, fire buckets and painted game boards. On my Vintage Toys website, you can find collectible toys from the manufacturers listed below. |
