Description

This listing is for an Antique Draft Horses & Wagon In Wood Company Model Sample? Or Folk Art Primitive. I believe it may be a company model / design sample of some kind, of the popular cast iron toy that looks quite like it, based on previous examples I have seen. If it it not- it is one of the better pieces of folk art I have seen! To the best of my understanding the company model would be made in the design process before a patent model or salesman sample. This fantastic piece appears to be completely hand carved & hand painted with great skill. I believe it to be mid 19th century. It makes a handsome display for the shelf, mantel, desk, and more. A fascinating piece of a bygone era, if only it could talk! The design is excellent for many rooms and a large variety of decor styles. It makes this an excellent staple piece for your collection, one your friends definitely won’t have! A great collectors item, for use display gifting or decor. It is in good condition, with no major damage. Has the usual of wear from age. One horse is missing his ears. I have only lightly cleaned it to avoid damage, comes nearly as found. The paint appears to be original and is in good shape for its age, with bright colors still. The top of the wagon, the bed, is missing, but could be left as is or a replacement fashioned. Thank you for your consideration, I appreciate your time. Reasonable offers always appreciated. Comes as shown, please see photos for details and measurements. Comes insured in shipment, packed with care.
