L’ho comprato in Danimarca per 75 KR danese, ma ho trovato la vernice insolita. Qualcuno può parlarne?

That looks like classic dalahäst-kurbits to me.
I’m no expert but as a Swede I’d say it looks valid.
What do you mean real?
It’s probably not antique if that’s what you’re asking.
It is! They are all hand painted and made by different people so the colors and style can vary. I don’t think there is a right and wrong with dalahästar. The most traditional is red with the “flower” decorations but some old ones are unpainted or have different colors such as green. Really depends on who made it, when it was made and WHERE it was made.
Looks pretty sloppy, but might be
It’s hard to tell if it’s made in Dalarna where they traditionally are made, but it’s made in the style of a traditional dalahäst at least.
Each Dalarna kommun have their own color and painting style. I’m not sure which one is the closest but it reminds me the Moras dalahäst.
to break it down, the red symbolises the colour red and the horse shape is to show it looks like a horse.
the flower thingy on the back is a flower.

I don’t think you can counterfeit these. They’re just a stylised red horse with painted saddle, reins and mane. The fact that you bought it in Denmark makes it like buying memorabilia of the Eiffel Tower in Germany though.
Look what it says on the belly. Usually you can find a signature there indicating who made it.
Are there “real” and “fake” dalahästar? Are there regulations to them? Is it like how Champagne can only be made in France, otherwise it’s fake?
The red is correct, the markings are not 100% but it still goes under ”dalahäst”
//from Dalarna
Thats a dog
Im somewhat of an expert myself. Can you find a sticker under it? The most common should say Nils Olsson or Grannas. If it is new but has no sticker it might have been produced without connections to its origins AKA china.
It doesn’t look like the most common style sold in Nusnäs nowadays, but there are tons of variations. Including regional variations from other Dala-villages that have completely different colors. This looks like a regular Dalahäst though, but in a simplistic/rustic style.
Most of the painters in Dalarna, have their own style and pattern – so there is no way to spot a “fake” one.
I would however say that the one that painted this one were in a haste to mass produce, and it is not very well painted. That said, it is a “real” dala horse as it have the shape, color and pattern – so you can with confidence say that it is genuine.
I have seen dala horses all over the world, so they must export some of them.
Yes
It is the correct wooden model and the painting techniq looks correct. They change a bit depending on who cut it and who painted it, but that is part of the authenticity.
I think the shape changed over time to be more robust, so it might be an older style.
It looks real. 75 DKK is awfully cheap for a proper one though.
“Real” as in made in dalarna? Probably not.
Certified Swede here, I’d say it is a counterfeit.
My reasons are:
Price: Unless that one is really small. It’s way to cheap, a 16cm costs almost ~[500kr at the store in Mora](https://www.nilsolsson.se/sv/Produkter/Dalahastar/Dalahast_Original/Dalahast_Rod?id=10012).
Quality: It looks like shit to be honest. Maaaaaabe something someone made for them selfs as a hobby project or as training but still not at all near factory quality ( they are all hand painted but at a very high quality ).
Colors: The band around the breast and belly for instance is not the right colors or pattern. The paints also seems translucent in some areas.
Again it could be someones hobby project or a training piece but if you bought it at a store, you most likely got scammed.
Impossible to say if it was made in Dalarna but it doesn’t look weird or anything
I am not an expert, but that looks like a wood horse. Probably not a real horse, but take it to a vet to make sure.
If it looks like one, it is one.
Its not protected IP or smth
READ BEFORE COMMENTING! i’d like to add:
This was bought used at a market at veterantræf, græsted
It’s about 5 cm in size
That’s really all to it
As someone else pointed out, it’s kinda like buying Eiffel tower merch in Germany, however, there is not really any real or fake ones. You could make one yourself and it would still be real.
However, living in Mora I am obligated to mention that if you want the realest of the real you come visit our town, maybe even visit the shops that makes them, and get a personalized one, with your family name on it for example, and pass it on to future generations. That is the true purpose of a dalahäst.
The real dalahäst cannot be caught; it’s a vicious beast roaming the deep woods of Dalarna, in search of virgins whose blood it can feast upon.
This looks like a folksy wooden variant…
Paint looks a bit sloppy and ears are a little unusual. Normally they are not angled like that on the sides. Could be someone trying to recreate the look.
Source: I have plenty of relatives from Dalarna. Family members who used to make horses and other goods for ~80-90 years.
It’s looks real enough but if you turn it over there should be a little oval gold sticker on its stomach where it says something like “Made in Dalarna, Sweden”. Of course, that sticker could’ve fallen off over the years.
It’s false
Anyone can make them, they ain’t protected or anything. But that one seems a bit cheap. Bad to no sanding and the paint is far from the best. Cheap Danish copy^^
If it’s 75 kr, it’s probably not made in Scandinavia.
It looks virtually identical to the one I’ve had since the late 1970s.
I don’t have it here right now so can’t confirm it positively but as others also have said it sure is a “real dalahäst”.
