i was told this vintage carved wood troll is supposed to be by anton sveen. this is a fabulous piece at least in the same quality like pieces by henning and anri..
it was carved by hand and is signed with the name of a small village Øien 15km (10 miles) outside lillihammer in norway.
I believe it was produced during the 1940s to 1950’s.
this fellow is smiling from ear to ear and carrying a walking stick
if you have any informations if it is by sveen or if you know who did it please let me know
really nice shape...love it .......
very nice ! Look at another post of who appears to be same only made of felt and much older
