About the Item

One of a Kind – This unique Scandinavian/Norwegian folk art piece from 1977 is a true standout. Handcrafted from natural pine wood and accented with copper, this versatile side table, coffee table, or chest on a stand combines functionality with artistic flair. Featuring hand-carved Rosemaling (rose painting) with intricate floral patterns on all four sides and a charming "dancing cat" design on the lid, it’s a conversation starter and a stunning example of Scandinavian craftsmanship. Signed and dated inside by the skilled artist with deeply carved initials "R.G. 77," this piece is both a functional furniture item and a beautiful storage box. A perfect addition to any space that celebrates folk art, rustic charm, or Scandinavian design.
