About the Item

Pair of Swedish folk art carved chairs. This “allmoge style" (Swedish term for folk art) reflects a design tradition rooted in everyday life, where local craftsmen created functional furniture with a strong decorative sensibility, utilizing available local materials/wood and simple tools. Note in photos the slightly different finish to the front of each chair. One chair is lighter with more wear to the patina and reveals residual paint on some of the back splats while the other chair has a slightly darker finish. See photos of backs as well. Restored, strong and stable. This pair of handcrafted Swedish accent chairs are ready to be used and enjoyed. Old repair seen in curve of backrest on one chair. All scratches, cracks, dings, and age related separation are reflective of generations of use and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this special pair. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition, and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting all impact how item is viewed. Photos are part of item description, please ask questions or request additional photos of specific areas if needed.
