Item highlights

Seller's description

Authentic antique Swedish wooden butter churn, complete with its original lid and long wooden plunger.

Traditionally known in Sweden as a smörkärna, this tall churn was made for working cream into butter in the rural household. The body is constructed from vertical wooden staves held firmly by iron bands, with a removable wooden lid and original plunger with pierced churning disc.

Years of practical use have given the wood a wonderfully deep colour and naturally worn surface. Now retired from dairy duty, it makes a superb piece of Swedish farmhouse decor, primitive folk art or rustic kitchen display.

Origin: Sweden
Era: Late 19th / early 20th century, circa 1880–1910
Type: Butter churn / smörkärna
Material: Solid wood, iron bands
Construction: Staved wooden body
Includes: Original lid and wooden plunger

Dimensions
Height: 73 cm (28.7 inches)
Diameter: approx. 20 cm (7.9 inches)

Condition
Good antique condition with substantial age-related wear, marks, staining and patina from its original working life. The wooden staves and iron bands remain intact. The lid and original pierced plunger are present. Please study the photographs, which form part of the description.
A genuine piece of Scandinavian rural history with far more character than anything designed to look old.

Response from Amanda Granlund

Thank you so much, Fadi! Thrilled you love the butter churn. Pieces with that much history seem to carry a quiet heartbeat of their own, and it’s always a joy sending them to someone who appreciates their character. You’ve been wonderful to work with, and you’re welcome back anytime. ✨
