Founding Father For Sale on 1stDibs
You are likely to find exactly the founding father you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. There are many contemporary, modern and abstract versions of these works for sale. If you’re looking for a founding father from a specific time period, our collection is diverse and broad-ranging, and you’ll find at least one that dates back to the 18th Century while another version may have been produced as recently as the 21st Century. Adding a founding father to a room that is mostly decorated in warm neutral tones can yield a welcome change — find a piece on 1stDibs that incorporates elements of gray, brown, beige, blue and more. Finding an appealing founding father — no matter the origin — is easy, but Hunt Slonem, Salvador Dalí, Stefanie Schneider, Ricky Hunt and Jack Graves III each produced popular versions that are worth a look. These artworks were handmade with extraordinary care, with artists most often working in paint, oil paint and fabric. A large founding father can be an attractive addition to some spaces, while smaller examples are available — approximately spanning 0.04 high and 0.8 wide — and may be better suited to a more modest living area.

The price for a founding father in our collection starts at $55 and tops out at $3,600,000 with the average selling for $2,685.
