Antique Scandinavian Bentwood Tine Box – Chip Carved Norwegian Folk Art, 19th Century A charming miniature 19th century Scandinavian bentwood tine box, finely hand-crafted in the traditional style. The oval body is formed from steamed and bent wood, pegged and stitched at the join, with a fitted lid and raised handle. The lid and sides are decorated with simple chip-carved motifs, typical of Norwegian and Swedish folk art. While full-sized tine boxes were used to store foodstuffs, gifts, or household items, this smaller example was likely made as a keepsake or trinket box. Its neat proportions, patina, and decorative carving give it wonderful display appeal. A fine piece of vernacular Scandinavian craftsmanship. ConditionGood antique condition. Wear, marks, and surface patina consistent with age. Lid and handle secure, structure stable. DimensionsH: 11 cm (to top of finials) x L: 18 cm (including lid extensions) x W: 10.5 cm EraMid to late 19th century, Scandinavian (likely Norwegian or Swedish).
