About the Item
**One-of-a-Kind Norwegian Rosemaling Basket – A Masterpiece of Telemark Folk Art (1938)**
This exceptional handcrafted wooden basket represents a masterwork of traditional Norwegian craftsmanship. Hand-crafted in 1938 or earlier, and painted in 1938 by a skilled rosemaler from Telemark, it stands as both a functional object and a preserved artifact of Scandinavian folk art.
The entire form is adorned with authentic Telemark-style *rosemaling*, featuring meticulously hand-painted, vibrant floral motifs and flowing scrollwork that encircle the body. The composition displays the artist’s confident brushwork and deep understanding of regional decorative traditions. Dated clearly on the handle, this piece carries a certified provenance that roots it firmly in the early 20th century.
Constructed from solid wood and finished with a rich, protective coating, the basket remains in excellent original condition. Its vivid palette and crisp detail have been beautifully preserved, with no significant flaws, presenting a remarkable state of conservation for its age.
