$337.50 $375.00
Celebrate Nordic folk-art heritage with this beautifully hand-carved Norwegian kjenge, a traditional Scandinavian drinking bowl crafted from birch wood and finished in a deep red-brown painted tone. Kjenger were historically used during festive gatherings, weddings, and celebrations, often carved in the shape of animals to symbolize abundance, unity, and cultural tradition.
This vintage 1980s example features a sculptural bird form with flowing carved lines along the body, a gracefully curved neck, and decorative tail detailing. The red-brown painted surface enhances the contours of the carving while adding a warm, rustic presence typical of Norwegian woodcraft. Today, kjenger are admired as decorative art pieces reflecting cultural history and timeless Scandinavian aesthetics.
A distinctive piece of Nordic folk art, this painted birch kjenge brings character, authenticity, and handcrafted charm to any interior.
