About the Item

This fine handcrafted Folk Art Swedish armchair, dating from the early 20th century, is a striking example of Wabi-Sabi design, celebrating the beauty found in imperfection and age. The chair is crafted from solid wood, originally painted a vibrant red that has since softened and worn over time. This weathered patina adds to its rustic charm and historical appeal. The backrest of the chair is intricately hand-carved, featuring a delightful motif that includes a flower, a sun, and a butterfly. These symbols are rendered with a folk art simplicity, reflecting traditional Swedish craftsmanship. The flower represents natural beauty, the sun symbolizes warmth and life, and the butterfly adds a touch of whimsy and transformation. "Wabi-sabi is the view or thought of finding beauty in every aspect of imperfection in nature. It is about the aesthetic of things in existence, that are “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”.
