Presented in this lot are a Rosemaling Painted Coal Hod and a Vintage Hand-painted Milk Can Folk Art, circa 1960s-1980s. Rosemaling, rose-painting, rosemåling or rosmålning is a Scandinavian decorative folk painting that flourished from the 1700s to the mid-1800s, particularly in Norway. Rosemaling could be found on walls, ceilings, and furniture throughout Norway in homes and churches. Rosemaling was also found on smaller wooden objects such as trunks, ale bowls, stools, chairs, and jugs. The term rosemaling is likely based on the flower “rose” and “maling” meaning “painting.” However, some dialects within Norway use the word “rose” to mean “to decorate”. Combined, rosemaling can also mean “decorative painting.” Norwegian emigration to the U.S. brought with it rosemaling. Rosemaling’s color palette and folk-art nature made it very popular, even beyond Norwegian-Americans, beginning in the 1960's and into the 1980's. These folk art pieces are in very nice condition, some slight dents from age and use noted. Coal Hod measures 8.75"W x 8.75"L x 20.5"H, weight is 3lb, 12oz.
