Description
A 20cm tall large Dalecarlian horse or Dala horse.
It’s a traditional carved, painted wooden statue of a horse originating in the Swedish province of Dalarna (Dalecarlia).
Today the red painted wooden Dala horse is essentially a folk symbol of the country of Sweden itself and a gift idea.
This vintage example is circa 1970s-1990s.
It’s likely by Grannas (Anders Olsson), the older brother of Nils and Jannes Olsson.
Made in Sweden, hand carved from carefully selected pine, hand painted.
Every Dalahorse is unique – the manufacturers can identify the carver and the painter.
Good used condition, please see photos.
Lots of wear from being loved and cleaned.
20 x 17.5 x 6cm.
