Description

Antique hand made wooden scale model of an 18th C farm cart.

This very fine meticulously constructed wooden scale model copies the design of a late 18th or early 19th century full sized working example.
It dates to circa 1920.

This cart is well detailed and has a hinged back which can be dropped for loading. In addition, it has removable side and front extension panels. The spoked wooden wheels are properly constructed with rotating hubs and steel rims. The cart also has a tipping action for dropping loaded goods. The finish is originally hand painted in a combination of red and navy blue with a dark brown interior.

The cart is a rare early scratch built model which is in very good original condition and eye catching in its bright colour scheme which has developed a pleasing age related patina.

English, circa 1920

Height 21cm x width 50cm x depth 23cm
