Tom Scott Antiques

Description

Something a bit different for you, but something in exceptional condition and beautifully restored, circa 1860.
This magnificent cart is known as a coach built "funeral Bier" carriage and in its time, was used to carry the coffins of the poor that couldn't afford the luxury of a horse drawn carriage. Regardless of that, it is a fabulous piece of history and has been well preserved.
This casket carriage is well restored, steel suspension, steering arm, spoked wheels and solid rubber tyres.
Certainly a collectors piece, but could also see this working well on a farmers market!
Good solid frame and ready to transport whatever you have in mind, or it can be used decoratively and enjoy its retirement.

Approx Dimensions:
Height: 37" Inches
Width: 30" inches
Length: 75" Inches

Please note: this piece is not held with me in Rutland, so if you are genuinely interested in it and would like to view it, you are very welcome to view it in Wiltshire ( address details will be provided ).
Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!
