Polish papercut framed folk art

A wonderful framed Polish Wycinanki papercut artwork. Beautiful detailed traditional folk art of 2 colourful roosters.

Polish Wycinanki (or papercut) first gained popularity as a folk craft in the mid 1800s. Originally, shepherds used their trimming sheers to cut designs from tree back or leather. As the art form developed, colorful paper was used to create decorations that were pasted onto roof beams or furniture, as well as hung in windows.

This style of Wycinanki originally came from the Lowicz region which specializes in designs of many colors. The Cepelia brand is well known for its quality and artistry and was established in 1949.

This art comes already framed to stand or hang.
