Antique Folk Art Childs Wheel Barrow in Original Paint SOLD
Antique Folk Art Childs Wheel Barrow in Original Paint. A unique piece of folk art, in totally original condition. We know the original owner was 'Eric Taylor' a seven year old boy from County Somerset, England. The barrow dates from the late 1800s or early 1900s
An astonishing find, with the most wonderful original paint throughout and coachline decoration. This barrow has been loved and revered for many generations of the same family.
The barrow most likely made by a coach builder for his son. Look at the amazing skill in the coach line painting. Then look at the construction of the wheel, the four spokes with large block dovetails into the outer wooden rim, the exterior with metal protection.
Every length of wood is faceted, and coach lined.
This barrow is an incredible survivor made with absolute love for the recipient.
