Offered for sale is a pair of Norwegian Kubbestol hand-carved chairs with scenes of birds and turkeys. We also have a larger companion chair with a carving of rams which is available and offered in a separate listing.
A kubbestol is a traditional Scandinavian chair made from a log. The kubbestol was quite common in some districts of Norway from about 1750 to 1960. The chair form was also found in some homes in central Sweden, especially in the districts that border Norway. The kubbestol form can even be found in Denmark, but there it was more often made with wooden staves like a barrel.
In Norway, the kubbestol was usually made from logs with significant girth and three to four feet in length. The log would be hollowed out so that the base (from the seat down) would be cylindrical while the back of the chair continued upward from the seat in a curved shield that made the chair both snug and comfortable.
