Grannas A Olsson Hemslöjd is the original maker of the Dala Horse as it is known world wide. Handcrafted into shape and then handpainted, each Grannas Dala Horse is an heirloom quality original.
Founded in 1922 by Anders Olsson, 2022 marked 100 years in business! Still operating as a small family run business (third and fourth generation). Grannas is based in Nusnäs, Sweden, a popular spot for visitors from all over the world.
In an effort to reduce their environmental impact, Grannas completely discontinued their use of solvent-based products by 2018; today all of their paints and varnishes are water-based.
