The term allmoge derives from all möghe meaning ‘all the people’ in Old Norse, referring to members of the peasant society. Scandinavian folk art, as a result, includes allmoge art, a craft produced according to local traditions, without regard to pre-established artistic styles or movements. Over time, this craft evolved into artisanal production that imitated older models, often designed under regional traditions.
