I spoke on the phone with someone at the store and he was incredibly helpful! He sent me photos via text and I was able to select exactly what horse I was looking for. I was notified when it was shipped and it arrived very quickly in perfect condition. Thank you. The Swedish Gift Store is terrific!

Frequently asked questions

Title

What is a Dala Horse?

A Dala Horse (Dalecarlian Horse) is a traditional carved and painted wooden horse from the Dalarna region of Sweden. Originally made as children’s toys, they’ve become a national symbol of Sweden and a beloved piece of folk art.

Where are your Dala Horses made?

All our Dala Horses are handcrafted in Sweden — each one carved and painted by skilled artisans following centuries-old traditions. No two are exactly alike!

What are Dala Horses made of?

They’re made from solid Swedish pine, carefully hand-carved and painted with vibrant traditional patterns using eco-friendly paints.

What do the different colors mean?

The classic Dala Horse is red with a kurbits floral pattern, but other colors have become popular too. Blue often symbolizes calm and loyalty, black for strength, and white for purity — though many people simply choose the one that matches their home or heart.

How do I know it’s authentic?

Each genuine Dala Horse is handmade in Sweden, often marked on the bottom with its place of origin (like “Nusnäs, Sweden”). We source directly from the original family workshops to ensure authenticity.

Are they safe for children?

Yes — Dala Horses are made from natural wood and non-toxic paints. However, smaller sizes are best used as décor rather than toys for very young children.

What size should I choose?

The most classic size is around 6” (15 cm), but we offer everything from mini collectibles to statement pieces. Many customers enjoy mixing sizes or displaying them in groups.

Where can I purchase one, and how should I choose between vendors or import options?

You can find Dala Horses from a few different places online, but not all are created equal. The best place to purchase is right here at Swedish Gift Store, where every Dala Horse we carry is authentically handmade in Sweden by the same family workshops that have carved them for generations.

When comparing vendors, here’s what to look for:

Authenticity: Many online shops sell mass-produced or imitation versions. Every Dala Horse we offer is hand-carved and hand-painted in Dalarna, Sweden — the true home of the Dala Horse tradition.

Quality Control: We work directly with the artisans to ensure consistent craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and non-toxic paints.

Reliable Shipping: Ordering from Swedish Gift Store means your horse ships from the U.S., so you avoid long import delays, hidden customs fees, or damaged packaging.

Customer Support: If anything goes wrong or you have questions, our Minnesota-based team is here to help — no international return hassles.

So while you may find cheaper or faster listings elsewhere, choosing Swedish Gift Store means you’re getting an authentic piece of Swedish heritage, backed by a store that genuinely knows and cares about Scandinavian tradition.
