Iconic Swedish Dala Horse

This iconic Dalahäst (Dala horse) embodies Swedish heritage with its brilliant flame-red coat and flowing kurbits decoration, which features distinctive swirls of yellow and white that dance along its form. This piece comes from the prestigious Nils Olsson workshop in Nusnäs, as evidenced by its maker’s mark, and represents the pinnacle of Dalarna craftsmanship. Each brushstroke tells a story about traditional folk art techniques passed down through generations, and the vibrant red paint exudes the same passion that has made these wooden horses beloved symbols of Swedish culture for centuries.
