Antique: The term has been used
collectively to designate classical Greek and Roman works of art,
particularly sculptures; as an adjective to indicate an object, a
period, or a style of ancient or early times; and as a noun, for
objects of art, furniture, rugs, pottery, metalwork, costumes,
jewelry, and household goods of early production and for old
artifacts generally. The demand and prices paid for antiques have
led to the widespread making of reproductions and reconstructions,
some with spurious marks of age. See antique collecting . For a
description of the characteristics of various styles, see Directoire,
Empire, Louis period and régence styles.
Wood Carving: as an art form,
includes any kind of sculpture in wood, from the decorative
bas-relief on small objects to life-size figures in the round,
furniture, and architectural decorations. The woods used vary
greatly in hardness and grain. The most commonly employed woods
include boxwood, pine, pear, walnut, willow, oak, and ebony. The
tools are simple gouges, chisels, wooden mallets, and pointed
instruments. Although they were universally one of the earliest art
media, wood carvings have withstood poorly the vicissitudes of time
and climate. A few ancient examples have been preserved in the dry
climate of Egypt, e.g., the wooden statue of Sheik-el-Beled (Cairo)
from the Old Kingdom.
The carving of wooden masks and statuettes was common to the African
tribes (see African art ), and totem poles were used for the basic
religious rites of the tribes of the Northwest Coast of America (see
North American Native art ). The wooden objects of Oceania include
animated designs, incised and in relief, on canoes and large
standing figures (see Oceanic art ). In Japan and China wooden
carvings have long been used to decorate temples and private
dwellings (see Chinese architecture ; Japanese architecture. The
Muslim countries of North Africa abound in intricate architectural
carvings.
In Europe wood carving was highly developed in Scandinavia, and
examples have been preserved of 10th- and 11th-century work. In
England the Gothic period produced extremely fine carving,
especially on choir stalls and rood screens. Although the Puritans
destroyed much of this, enough has been preserved to show its
beautiful workmanship. In France wood carving was also a part of
religious art, and there the carved altarpieces were especially
notable. Italian wood carving flourished during the Gothic period in
Pisa, Siena, and Florence, as well as in the southern monasteries;
during the Renaissance it remained an adjunct of Italian artistic
development. |
