Antique Norwegian Folk Art Chip-Carved Wood Picture Frames – Matching Pair – 8” x 10”
Beautiful pair of antique Norwegian / Scandinavian folk art picture frames featuring elaborate hand-carved geometric decoration.
Each solid wood frame is covered with traditional chip-carved motifs, including repeating geometric star/rosette patterns surrounded by deeply carved rope-twist borders. The hand workmanship and subtle variations between the two frames give them wonderful character and make the pair especially attractive displayed together.
The wood has developed a rich, warm brown patina that beautifully highlights the depth and facets of the carving.
