This Norwegian wall plaque from the 1960s, attributed to Arnold Wiigs Fabrikker, stands out with its elongated, subtly trapezoidal form that widens gently towards the top and a smooth, matte black surface. The hand-painted, decorative motif features a stylized peacock with turquoise and teal plumage, its long tail rendered in cobalt blue, red, and ochre, adorned with teardrop-shaped details, and surrounded by folk-inspired floral patterns in warm hues of cream, orange-red, ochre, and subtle blue. A thin, off-white border frames the composition, highlighting the precision of the hand-painting. The decorative style draws clear references to Norwegian folk art (rosemaling) and folk ornamentation, while also carrying a distinct mid-century modern flair. The plaque is preserved in very good condition, with no visible signs of wear, damage, or restoration – the painted details and edges remain crisp and original.This decorative plaque echoes the voice of Norwegian folk tradition, reinterpreted through the confident color palette and form of the 1960s. It is an object that tells its own story: the peacock – a symbol of poise and richness – and its vibrant ornamentation recall a world where applied art was an expression of cultural identity and craftsmanship. Each brushstroke reveals an attention to detail, while the intensity of the colors carries the energy of an era that sought innovation while honoring its roots.It may be displayed as a singular accent on a living room wall or combined with other vintage folk-inspired pieces for an eclectic, boho ensemble. The plaque pairs well with natural wood, neutral textiles, or ceramics – accentuating both
