Vintage hand-painted wooden chest with domed lid, a piece of folk art.

Rosemaling is a Norwegian folk art style of decorative painting characterized by flowing floral and scroll-like patterns, originating in rural Norway on the 1700s.

The box features decorative, colorful floral motifs painted in green, red, blue, and gold on a green background. 

The box is made of wood with a hinged lid. The hinges are affixed with slot head screws, which dates the item pre-1930s. The interior is painted wood. The exterior shows signs of age—wear on edges, slight paint loss in places—consistent with over a century of history.
