Description from the seller

Authentic Swedish sewing box from 1947 – hand-painted folk art furniture – “Eva 1947”

Beautiful and rare Swedish sewing box on slender turned legs, fully executed in traditional Scandinavian folk art style. This characterful piece bears on the interior the original hand-painted inscription “Eva 1947”, making it not only a functional object but also a special piece of personal history.

The warm wood tones are combined with richly executed hand-painted decorations in typical Swedish colors: deep reddish-brown, cream, olive green and warm orange. The floral motifs and graceful scrolls reference the traditional Swedish Allmoge style, beloved for its artisanal charm and decorative appearance.

The sewing box features:

* a roomy storage compartment under the lid
* a removable divider with compartments
* a practical drawer at the bottom
* elegant turned legs with connecting rails

Thanks to the refined proportions and decorative finish, this piece is perfectly suited as:

* sewing box
* side table
* storage furniture
* decorative accent piece
* a collectible for Scandinavian design and folk art

The hand-painted details on both the exterior and interior make this specimen exceptionally atmospheric. The visible signs of wear and patina fully reflect its age and reinforce the authentic vintage character.

A unique and decorative Swedish piece from the immediate post-war period, where traditional craftsmanship and folk art come together beautifully.
