About the Item

This wooden hand-painted Swiss wall plate, especially one likely made by a farmer, is a charming piece of folk art that reflects the rural traditions and everyday life of Switzerland. These plates were often crafted during the 19th or early 20th century and served both decorative and commemorative purposes. Made from locally sourced wood, often turned by hand and typically decorated with Alpine or floral motifs such as the Edelweiss, gentians, or stylized flowers. These plates were hung on walls in farmhouses or alpine cottages. Such plates are beautiful examples of Swiss folk art, showcasing everyday life and local identity. While not always highly polished or refined, they display a traditional and unique history of Switzerland's farm life.
