Collection Item of the Week - Per Lysne Rosemaled Plate

5/17/2014

In honor of syttende mai (Norwegian Constitution Day), our collection item of the week is this rosemåled plate painted by Per Lysne.  Lysne was born in Norway where his father taught him to rosemål. 

In 1907 Lysne came to the United states with his wife.  He was employed as a wagon painter in Stoughton, Wisconsin. When business slowed during the Depression he began to rosemål again.  The smorgasbord plate became his signature piece.  By the early 1940's, his work was in such demand, visitors to his back yard studio were told they would have to wait up to a year for a rosemåled plate. The revival of rosemåling in the Norwegian-American community is often credited to Per Lysne.

To learn more about Per Lysne, visit the Stoughton Historical Society website: http://www.stoughtonhistoricalsociety.org/Photo_Per_Lysne.htm

I have a rosemaled plate painted by Per Lysne, very similar to the one above. Do you know the value, and I am wondering if there is a market for these.

We have not had this piece appraised. Perhaps you could contact the Stoughton Historical Society to see if they could give you an idea of a value range or someone to speak with about a valuation.

How can you tell if a piece is original? My wife and I have one and would love to know if it’s authentic

I would reach out to the Stoughton Historical Society in Wisconsin: https://www.stoughtonhistoricalsociety.org/ They would probably be able to tell you or suggest someone who might know if your plate is authentic.

Thank you Kate, I did reach out to them and it was confirmed to be authentic and one of his earlier works
