18th Century Norwegian Horse Collar Bow Pair | Hand Carved Primitive Rose Wood Harness | 300 Year Old Folk Art
$675.00
This exceptional pair of 18th century Norwegian horse collar bows is more than 300 years old and represents authentic rural Scandinavian heritage. Hand carved from solid wood and decorated with primitive rose motifs, they embody early Norwegian craftsmanship shaped entirely by hand.
The deep patina, softened carving details, and beautifully faded original color are the result of true age. The surface character cannot be replicated — it is something only centuries can create. These are not decorative reproductions, but genuine 1700s artifacts with powerful historical presence.
Originally used as part of a traditional working horse harness, the bows framed the horse’s neck to distribute pulling weight. Today they stand as rare sculptural folk art objects with strong museum-level appeal.
