NORWEGIAN ROSEMALING CROSS
* Rosemaling is the decorative folk art of rural Norway that flourished in the 1700's and 1800's. Rosemaling (rose painting) could be found on walls, ceilings, and furniture throughout Norway in homes and churches. Rosemaling was also found on smaller wooden objects such as trunks, ale bowls, stools, chairs, and jugs. The smaller wooden items were typical items used in daily Norwegian life.
The term rosemaling is likely based on the flower “rose” and “maling” meaning “painting.” However, some dialects within Norway use the word “rose” to mean “to decorate”. Combined, rosemaling can also mean “decorative painting.” *
