Antique Norwegian Blue Bentwood Tine Box 1862 | Hand Painted Scandinavian Folk Art Storage Box | Rustic Nordic Decor | Signed & Dated

Bring a piece of Norwegian heritage into your home with this rare hand-painted bentwood tine box, beautifully dated 1862.

This large oval Scandinavian storage box is crafted in the traditional “tine” form, with carved upright lugs, a fitted lid, and the classic bentwood construction held together with wooden pegs and interlocking joints.

The exterior retains its remarkable original blue paint—now worn into a stunning patina that only 160+ years of age can create. The lid is hand-painted in red script and signed with the year 1862, giving the piece a strong connection to its historic Norwegian roots. Areas of charming wear, old repairs, and softened edges all testify to a long life of use and care.

Traditionally used for storing food, textiles, or valuables, this tine now serves beautifully as a decorative centerpiece, fruit bowl, jewelry box, or rustic Scandinavian storage piece.
