Grouse Lamp: Norwegian Heritage Lamp – “Black Grouse” Stove Ornament
This unique lamp features an original front plate ornament from a traditional Norwegian wood stove, depicting the black grouse (orrfugl).
From the mid-1800s until around 1940, cast iron stoves adorned with this and other iconic wildlife motifs were a staple in Norwegian homes. Produced by renowned foundries such as Ulefos Jernværk and Bærums Verk, these designs are closely associated with the National Romantic movement in Norway at the time.
Probably around 1920, this decorative bird element was removed from a stove and repurposed into a lamp—all made in cast iron. The lamp weighs approximately 2 kg. Newly renovated by local craftsman and lamp expert; Frank. Light bulb is included.
