Native American Art Pieces Ideal for Thanksgiving Decorations
The tradition of America's Thanksgiving dates back to the times when pilgrims and Native Americans met together to share a feast. As you plan a Thanksgiving celebration of your own, you have the opportunity to include some authentic art pieces in your decor. The art pieces you gather from an online American Indian art auction can become an annual tradition.
Check out some of the art pieces to look for and ways to incorporate the designs into your family's Thanksgiving traditions.
Native American Basket Bowls
Native Americans spent a lot of time mastering the arts of handcrafted goods. Created with care and intricate designs, you can purchase vintage pieces like a basket bowl. A basket bowl can sit in the middle of a dining room table or a serving table. Use a basket to serve bread rolls or other dry meal options.
You could wrap forks and knives in napkins and fill the basket with those items. Look for a basket bowl with a wide opening that makes it easy to grab items as you need them.
Wool Blanket Rugs
Add a nice floor decoration to your Thanksgiving meal with an authentic hand-made Native American rug. Typically woven with wool, the rugs can feature patterns, designs, and a wide range of colors. Use the rugs in multiple areas for Thanksgiving. For example, you could lay the rug down underneath a dining room table for a nice design element.
Set the rug out in front of the stove or serving table. The themed design could become a tradition you pull out every November. You could also purchase multiple rugs and set them all up around the kitchen. If you have a clear tablecloth, you could lay a rug over the top of the table and add the clear cloth over the top for extra protection.
Table Centerpieces
Native American artwork could become a centerpiece at your Thanksgiving dinner. You have the opportunity to purchase stand-alone pieces of art like small carved statues and figure designs. For example, you could find a lot of soapstone carvings at an online Native American art auction.
The detailed soapstone designs create a unique look and include all kinds of themes like Native American people or animals like eagles. Purchase a single centerpiece or a whole collection of pieces you could put up on display.
Shop around at an auction with your Thanksgiving celebration in mind. The little details can make a big difference to your celebration and create some fun new traditions.
