Swedish folk bentwood vessel - Container - Wood - 1834

Antique bentwood vessel, dated 1834, is a fine example of Scandinavian folk art. Standing at 41 cm tall, with a width of 36 cm and a depth of 21 cm, this piece showcases traditional craftsmanship and artistic flair. The vessel is hand-painted with vibrant floral motifs in shades of green, blue, red, and orange, typical of the period and region. The vessel features a unique triangular shape with a removable wooden peg, indicating it was designed to hold liquids. The peg serves as a stopper, sealing the vessel effectively. The floral decorations on the sides and front, along with the date "1834" painted on the front, add to its historical charm and aesthetic appeal. The condition of the vessel shows signs of age and use, with some wear on the wood and paint, which only enhances its vintage character. This piece would be a prized addition to any collection of antique folk art or Scandinavian artifacts. This beautifully crafted and painted bentwood vessel is not only a functional item but also a piece of history, reflecting the cultural heritage and artistic traditions of 19th-century Scandinavia.
