Hand-Carved Swedish Nisse with Broom and Spoon – Unique Nordic Gnome Figurine by Liljas Scandinavian Handicraft

A handcrafted Scandinavian Nisse holding a tiny broom and spoon – symbols of care, work, and old Nordic tradition. Carved entirely by hand from a single piece of linden wood, then painted and detailed with care in my workshop in Sweden. Each figure is completely unique and signed by me, the maker.

Approx. size: 9 cm tall (3.5 inches)

🪵 What Makes This Nisse Special

✅ Authentic Nordic Craftsmanship
Each Nisse is carved by hand using only a knife – no machines or lasers. I’ve worked with wood carving for over 15 years, and every figure reflects that slow, focused tradition.

✅ Unique Design with Functional Details
This Nisse holds a handcrafted birch broom (treated with linseed oil + varnish) and a basswood spoon – each one made to fit naturally in the figure’s hands. The base is signed and slightly cupped for better stability on uneven surfaces.

✅ Rooted in Scandinavian Folklore
The Nisse is a beloved mythological creature in Swedish tradition, believed to protect the home and farm if treated with respect. Giving a Nisse is like giving a guardian, a story, and a bit of Nordic magic.

✅ Natural Materials, Lasting Finish
Carved from Swedish linden wood and finished to preserve its grain and beauty. Though lightly varnished, the figure should be kept indoors or in a dry place.

✅ Truly One-of-a-Kind
No two are ever the same. Every figure has its own expression, posture, and energy. If you're looking for a gift that feels personal and meaningful, this is it.

✅ Gift-Ready + Worldwide Shipping
Comes packed in a gift box – perfect for giving or collecting. Standard shipping is free; trackable shipping available as an upgrade.
