Antique & Vintage: Tribal Bags & Frags

Creating art is not a rarefied activity of painters, poets & sculptors. Art can also be found in a broad spectrum of functional crafts typically produced anonymously by people of different cultures around the globe.  Many of these craft items can be found in our museums, elevated to this higher cultural context from their use in everyday life-pottery, glass, metalwork, furniture & textiles now considered art. Bradfords presents a collection of antique donkey, horse and camel bag faces as well as carpet fragments made by tribal & village artisans. Once functional forms, now presented for display on walls, tables, chair backs & floor.
