Antique Folk Art Toy For Sale on 1stDibs

Find many varieties of an authentic antique folk art toy available at 1stDibs. An antique folk art toy — often made from wood, metal and fabric — can elevate any home. Your living room may not be complete without an antique folk art toy — find older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. An antique folk art toy is a generally popular piece of furniture, but those created in Folk Art, Art Deco and Industrial styles are sought with frequency. Many designers have produced at least one well-made antique folk art toy over the years, but those crafted by Mark Indursky, Rajhastani and A.C. Gilbert Company are often thought to be among the most beautiful.

The average selling price for an antique folk art toy at 1stDibs is $878, while they’re typically $150 on the low end and $7,500 for the highest priced.

Finding the Right Toys for You

Children as well as nostalgic grown-ups are still finding pleasure in toys and objects designed specifically for playtime that are, in comparison to today’s digital device-oriented distractions, far more modest in nature. Indeed, antique, new and vintage toys of years past — handmade folk-art toys such as wooden train sets, dolls, rocking horses and more — can be enjoyed by the young and old alike. In contemporary interiors, gently aging toys are wonderfully uncomplicated decorative objects primed for display in a cabinet or other case piece.

With their romantic appeal and frequent incorporation of natural materials, some vintage toys and folk-art toys are treasured collectibles, showcasing the beauty of handmade craftsmanship. Alongside other works characterized as folk art — in this case, visual art, typically reflective of a community’s culture and usually handmade by craftspeople working within a popular tradition — handcrafted vintage toys are historical works of art worthy of any collector’s mantel. These are toys that tell a story of the time in which they were produced and the people who produced them.

Like any artifact, toys provide a window into the past. The ornamental dolls of the Victorian era, for example, produced in Germany and England, made of ceramics such as porcelain and dressed in textured fabrics, speak to the fashion of the era and will add a pop of color and a decorative flourish to the neutral corners of your home.

Mid-century modern toys are as sophisticated as the widely cherished furniture of the era. As much as they thought good design for the home should be available for all, iconic American design duo Charles and Ray Eames believed in making durable and interesting products for kids too. Today, their Eames Elephant is available from Vitra and Herman Miller, and it doesn’t even require a digital screen.

Explore a unique collection of antique and vintage toys as well as folk-art toys on 1stDibs.
