  2. INTRODUCTION The Traditional Wooden Swedish Dala Horse by DalaArt is a timeless and iconic symbol of Swedish folk art and craftsmanship. These handcrafted wooden horses have been a cherished tradition in Sweden for centuries, and they continue to capture the hearts of people around the world with their charm and beauty. In this document, we will explore the history, craftsmanship, and cultural significance of the Traditional Wooden Swedish Dala Horse by DalaArt. HISTORY The history of the Swedish Dala Horse dates back to the 17th century in the Dalarna region of Sweden. It is said that Swedish woodworkers began crafting these horses during the long, harsh winters as a way to pass the time and supplement their income. These early Dala Horses were often simple in design, featuring vibrant red paint with hand-painted floral patterns. Over time, the Dala Horse evolved both in design and purpose. Originally, they were created as toys for children, but their popularity quickly spread, and they became treasured decorative items. Today, these wooden horses are not only cherished for their artistic beauty but also for their representation of Swedish culture and tradition. www.dalaart.com

Painting: Skilled artists hand-paint each horse using vibrant, non-toxic paints.
