Antiques – Religious Art for the Season and All Year

 

By Arthur Schwerdt

TheWith both Easter and Passover this weekend, this week’s column is a photo essay of some interesting devotional art.
Religious art of all the world religions, from main steam to tribal, has been attracting collectors’ attention lately. Handmade pieces are especially impressive, not only for their exceptional craftsmanship, but also for the passion and commitment communicated by the artists.
Enjoy these photographs, and happy spring, neighbors.
NOTICE: The April 17 Appraisal Night at the Wetlands has been cancelled due to a schedule conflict. The new director needs the space for activities geared more to the Institute’s environmental mission.
Our next appraisal road trip will be to Teaberry Marketplace on Rt. 9 in Clermont in May. Look for details in the next column on April 18.
Arthur Schwerdt, a certified Appraiser, is the author of “The Antique Story Book: Finding the Real Value of Old Things,” and co-owner of The August Farmhouse Antiques on Route 9 in Swainton. Send your comments, questions and appraisal requests to aschwerdt@cmcherald.com
