A Rare, Collector-Grade Expression of Swedish History

Authentic hand-carved Dala horse in a rare resting pose, adorned with traditional Kurbits detailing.

A Rare and Captivating Twist on a Beloved Tradition

Discover a truly unique treasure for your heirloom collection with the Sitting Red Swedish Dala Horse. While the iconic Swedish Dala horse is almost universally recognized in its classic standing posture, this rare sculpt variant from Grannas A. Olsson depicts the horse in a serene, resting pose. Featuring the classic bright red base coat and vibrant, hand-painted kurbits (floral folk art) across its saddle and harness, this resting figure brings a completely fresh personality and charming grace to your Nordic home decor.

Features & Benefits

  • Exclusive Sculpt Variant: Carved far less frequently than the traditional standing versions, this sitting pose stands out as a distinctive conversation piece and a prized collector's item.
  • Authentic Nusnäs Production: Hand-carved from slow-growing Swedish pine wood, dipped, sanded, and detailed entirely by hand in a world-renowned workshop operating since 1922.
  • Freehand Floral Artistry: Adorned with striking blue, green, white, and yellow traditional Kurbits motifs, applied freehand by master folk artists so that no two pieces are exactly identical.
  • Perfect Complementary Piece: Sized beautifully at 12 cm, this sitting horse provides a perfect geometric contrast when displayed alongside traditional standing Dala collections.

Cultural Note

The Dala horse (Dalahäst) traces its origins to the 1700s as a token of love and companionship hand-carved by woodsmen in Sweden's Dalarna region. While the standing stance historically symbolized the strength and utility of the workhorse, this rare sitting variant captures a moment of rest and peace. It features classic Kurbits painting—a whimsical floral art style born out of Swedish religious folk paintings from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Product FAQ's

Is this sitting Dala horse part of the official Grannas catalog?

Yes, it is a genuine, authorized sculpt variant produced directly by Grannas A. Olsson in Nusnäs, Sweden. However, because it requires a completely different wood-carving block and specialized shaping, it is produced in much smaller, limited batches compared to standing models.

Can this horse be paired easily with standard 13 cm standing horses?

Absolutely. At 12 cm, its physical presence and scale match perfectly alongside standard 13 cm (5") or 15 cm (6") standing Dala horses, adding beautiful visual variety, height contrast, and texture to your mantel or display cabinet.

Is the kurbits the same as the standing red?

Same tradition — red base, classic multi-color kurbits across the saddle and harness, white highlights. The pose is what changes; the painting stays within the Grannas style.
