All Autumn Long
Our collection includes both vintage and modern pieces, each holding memories of this fall and falls from the past.
Nashville, Tennessee
Carved and painted wood, Early-mid 20th Century
Simple in form yet rich in history, this carved wooden folk art figure embodies the spirit of early American craftsmanship. The red paint, gently worn at the edges, reveals layers of age and touch. Its elongated shape feels almost architectural — a timeless presence that stands gracefully in both traditional and modern spaces. A rare collectible that brings color, character, and a trace of the maker’s hand to any interior.
Spoon by Daniel Rozensztroch (Pointed Leaf Press, 2017) transforms the humble spoon—obsessively collected over years and rendered in wood, glass, mother-of-pearl, bone, metal, horn, porcelain, enamel, and ceramic—into a gallery-worthy subject, showcasing hundreds of utensils from Rozensztroch’s personal collection with high-quality photography and fine printing.
Nashville, Tennessee
Oil on found tin, early 20th century
Painted on what was once a tin can lid, this early American folk art painting captures a tranquil lakeside moment — two swans gliding across muted water. The surface, softened by age, carries a faded patina that only deepens its allure. Both humble and poetic, it transforms an everyday object into art. Whether hung on its own or grouped with other naïve paintings, it adds a touch of nostalgia and soul to any wall.

The soft neutrals and textured linen ground give them a painterly depth, while rustic wooden frames add warmth. Hung together, they create a quiet rhythm — timeless yet fresh. Perfect for gallery walls or layered interiors, these portraits bring a hint of countryside serenity to contemporary spaces.

Austin, Texas
Hand-carved wood with aged white and black paint
Graceful in line and quietly sculptural, this antique shorebird decoy bridges function and art. The white-and-black surface, softly cracked with age, traces each hand-tooled mark of the maker. Once used along the coast, it now reads as a modern folk art sculpture—a study in proportion and poise. Beautiful against a neutral wall or on a minimalist console, it brings the authenticity of American coastal craft into contemporary interiors.

Bantam, Connecticut
Carved from a single block of wood and set on a piece of naturally weathered driftwood, this folk art sandpiper sculpture radiates quiet elegance. The gray-slate wings, flecked with soft speckles, give it an almost painterly surface. Honest, tactile, and full of presence, it embodies the spirit of American shorebird decoys—objects once made for use, now celebrated as pure form. Perfect for collectors or anyone drawn to coastal folk art decor.
Austin, Texas
Dynamic and expressive, this hand-carved wooden curlew decoy captures the motion of flight in still form. Its elongated orange bill sweeps forward with sculptural grace, while layers of worn blue paint reveal decades of handling and care. Mounted on a black iron base, it stands as both relic and modern folk art sculpture—a coastal piece reimagined for today’s interior.

From THE Scrapbook
One-of-a-Kind | Hand-stitched Textile Art
This extraordinary hand-stitched needlepoint rug is a celebration of patience, artistry, and devotion. Years in the making and completed in 1976, it features a vibrant scattering of wildflowers—each bloom rendered in meticulous cross-stitch with joyful, painterly precision. The palette is pure charm: bright cornflower blues, poppy reds, daffodil yellows, and blushing pinks—all dancing across a natural linen ground, framed in a deep green border.
Signed with pride and stitched with love, it carries the quiet intimacy of something made by hand and meant to last. Whether displayed as a wall hanging, laid gently across a table, or draped over the back of a settee, this piece brings not only color and texture—but a story—to your space.
