Norway/Norwegian/Norsk Rosemaling Design Table Runner

 
Norway/Norwegian/Norsk Rosemaling Design Table Runner. You are bidding on a folk art table runner from Norway. It shows a folk art design resembling rosemaling printed on heavy linen fabric. These were popular in Norway in the 1970's. It has strong colors and is in excellent condition, but there are some faint stains near one end as if from candle drippings. These are barely visible, though, and can probably be taken out. The dimensions are 35.5 by 7.5 inches. The background color is medium blue while the accent colors are orange/red, beige/brown, white, and black. If you enjoy decorating with folk art objects, this would certainly make a great addition to your collection.
 
We have just returned from Norway and have brought back with us a great number of children's books, pewter, sweaters, and holiday table covers. Please be looking for ongoing offers in the weeks to come.

Norwegian Adventure Norway has a Reputation...

By: Elmo Populous

Norway has a reputation for being expensive and it is hard to argue against this summation. However what can be said is that the awe inspiring landscape of the country definitely makes the extra cash you may have to fork out worthwhile. Norway is a land of contrast, merging lively cultural centres with isolated natural beauty spots. The high-brow capital, Oslo, is a wonderful place to start your Norwegian adventure.

Oslo is most ancient of all Scandinavian capital cities and an awesome location to tread when introducing yourself to Norway. You could start with a wander around the Royal Palace’s grounds, which are open to the public and follow it with a trip to the City Hall, the Rädhus. Hidden inside this massive building are some beautiful carved-wood depictions of Norse myths and an enormous hall decorated with a mural by several important Norwegian artists. For a fascinating glimpse at Norwegian history, visit the Vikingskipshuset which displays three ninth-century Viking ships, which were retrieved from ritual burial mounds in southern Norway, each embalmed in clay. The Folk Museum is also of interest to history enthusiasts featuring indoor exhibits of medieval clothes, china and silverware as well as open-air display of accurately recreated buildings from various periods of Norwegian history.

Oslo has a reputation of being an illustrious hang-out for artists and art lovers alike. It's trendy Munch Museum is stationed on the outskirts of Oslo's centre and as Edvard Munch was Norways most heavy-weight painter, his staple works are on show here as well as earlier paintings, lithographs and woodcuts. Possibly the star attraction is world famous The Scream, which was eerily returned after being stolen in 2004.

Staying in the capital doesn’t mean you have to forgo getting close to nature. The islands of the inner Oslofjord are perfect to visit in the summertime. The nearest island, Hovedøya, is a captivating place to visit. The ruins of a twelth-century Cistercian monastery on the island sit astride the island, which is covered in farmland and deciduous woods. The most southerly island Langøyene is also worth a visit due to its pretty beaches.

Organising your stay

A key stage in planning your holiday is organising travel insurance. Make sure you get the best deal by comparing providers online. Getting to Oslo is relatively straightforward. The main low-cost carriers are Ryanair and Norwegian Air Shuttle. Norway’s long coastline is served by a number of ferry companies, most notably DFDS Seaways and Color Line. Oslo airport has excellent links to local transport, with direct buses or trains to the city centre.
