$220.00 $275.00
Step back into the golden age of Scandinavian craftsmanship with this exquisite Norwegian Folk Art Bentwood Tine Box. Dating back to the 1910s, this circular jewelry box is a prime example of the traditional "svi-dekor" (wood burning) technique that defined rural Norwegian artistry at the turn of the century. Traditionally used to store precious heirlooms like "søljer" (silver brooches) for the national bunad costume, this box carries with it a deep sense of history and cultural pride.
The maker of this piece demonstrated exceptional skill, decorating the lid and sides with intricate, hand-etched floral and geometric patterns that have aged into a warm, honey-toned patina. Unlike larger storage tines, this box was specifically crafted as an intimate keepsake chest, featuring a soft blue felt lining on the bottom to protect delicate silver and gold pieces. The bentwood construction is held together with traditional bindings, showcasing the organic durability that Norwegian folk art is famous for.
This bentwood tine is the ultimate gift for a collector of Scandinavian antiques or anyone looking for a unique, historical way to store jewelry and small treasures. Whether displayed on a dresser or used as a functional jewelry box, it serves as a stunning conversation piece that connects the modern home to the traditions of early 20th-century Norway. It remains in remarkable vintage condition, showing only the graceful wear expected from over a hundred years of careful use.
