19th Century Scandinavian Folk Art Bentwood Tine Box "Svepask", Pine & Rattan
-
Description
A fine Scandinavian, most probably Swedish, folk art svepask (bentwood box) with lid, late 19th to early 20th century. Crafted in pine with beautiful details, this traditional box is made using the Scandinavian svep technique, where thin wood is steamed, bent, and secured with wooden pegs, locks, & rattan. The lid features upright finials and a central handle, while the side is fitted with a clever wooden locking system that secures the top in place.
Such boxes were historically used across Scandinavia for storage of food, textiles, and small valuables, and they remain highly collectible examples of Nordic vernacular craftsmanship. This piece is in good condition with rich patina from age and use, showing both the practicality and artistry of Scandinavian folk tradition. -
