19th Century Swedish Dough Bowl with Original Red Paint

About the Item

This rare 19th-century Swedish allmoge dough bowl (dejtrug) is a remarkable example of traditional Scandinavian rural craftsmanship. Hand-carved from a single piece of wood, it retains its original deep red paint—a color commonly used in Swedish folk art due to its association with protection and durability. The interior has developed a rich patina from centuries of use, adding to its authentic character. These wooden dough bowls were essential household items in Swedish farmsteads, used daily for mixing and kneading bread. The slightly asymmetrical form and carved rim showcase the handmade nature of the piece, reflecting the simplicity and practicality of Swedish rural design.
