Rare Hand-Carved Wood Figurines from Telemark, Norway – One-of-a-Kind Folk Art by Olav Ljosaak (from ca. 1980s)

These stunning, hand-carved wood figurines by Norwegian artist Olav Ljosaak are a rare and precious find for lovers of folk art and collectors alike. Crafted from natural European beech wood, each figurine showcases the artist’s exceptional skill and dedication to preserving the rich heritage of Telemark, Norway. The set features two figures: one is a self-portrait of the artist, and the other represents his brother, making this not only a work of art but also a meaningful family story captured in wood.

The lifelike detailing, smooth finish, and timeless design make these sculptures a perfect addition to any interior, whether it be a cozy rustic cabin, country farmhouse, or a contemporary home looking for a touch of Scandinavian charm. These figurines bring warmth and history into any space, making them ideal for decorating or commemorating significant life events like weddings, anniversaries, retirements, or as a unique Christmas gift.

Collectors of Norwegian folk art will appreciate the craftsmanship and authenticity of these figurines, which are rare examples of a nearly lost tradition of hand-carving. Whether displayed as part of a larger collection or as a centerpiece in your home, these sculptures are truly one-of-a-kind and offer a tangible connection to Norway’s artistic past.
