Tole painting is the folk art --
that began in 18th century New England, and was also extensively carried on
among German immigrants in Pennsylvania.-- of
decorative painting on tin and wooden utensils, objects and furniture.
Typical metal objects include utensils, coffee pots, and similar household
items. Wooden objects include tables, chairs, and chests, including hope
chests, toyboxes and jewelry boxes.
A separate, related tradition occurs among Scandinavian countries and
immigrants, including Norwegians, Danes and Swedes.
Modern tole painting typically uses inexpensive, long-lasting and sturdy
acrylic paints. Good quality wooden work is sealed, primed and sanded before
the decorative paint is applied. An advantage of tole painting as a craft is
that a bad painting can be sanded off and repainted.
The most beloved family objects tend to be high quality utensils or
furniture, painted freehand with favorite patterns, colors or flowers,
humorous themes, family in-jokes, or illustrations of favorite or family
stories. The perceived value of a tolled utensil increases with its quality
as a utensil and the quality of the art.
