Peder Per Veggum (11 April 1768 – 15 April 1836) was a Norwegian artist associated with the decorative folk art of Rosemaling. He was primarily known as a skilled and prolific rose painter (norsk rosemaler), but he was also a cabinet carpenter and woodcarver.[1][2]
Veggum was born at Nord-Fron in Oppland, Norway. He was the son of Ole Olsen Leine (1726-1801) and Lisbet Nilsdatter Bjorge (1736-1813). He grew up in Vågå and apprenticed at Roros in Sør-Trøndelag. From 1797 he settled at Sel in the traditional region of Gudbrandsdal, where he practiced cabinetmaking, wood carvings and floral paintings. He made and decorated cabinets, pantry, chests, and boxes.[3]
