I love this little shelf! I found it at a local "fleatique" shop today.
From the internet:
With a longer history in Europe (see toleware), in America the practice began in 18th century New England and was also extensively carried on among German immigrants in Pennsylvania. A separate, related tradition occurs in the Netherlands and among Scandinavian countries and immigrants, including Norwegians, Danes and Swedes. German tole painting may concentrate more on metal and tin objects, while Scandinavians and Netherlanders may concentrate more on wooden objects and furniture. Patterns in the two traditions vary slightly as well.









The tole-painted floral pattern accents the shelf beautifully
