Extremely Rare, Antique and Handcrafted Walker for Teaching Children to Walk
About the Item
Amazing condition children's antique.
This very rare walker from the late 19th century is another one of our great recent finds. If finding one is not special enough, we found this rare specimen in completely original, excellent, very stabile and unrestored condition. If you were born in the late 1800s or early 1900s and your parents were considered 'well to do' then you would have learned to walk in a walker like this. It is for obvious reasons that only very few will have survived so to find one and to find one this good, simply amazed us. Not a single wooden bar was ever broken and it even still has the original, metal casters/ball wheels in working condition. We would love this piece to go to a museum, but if a collector of rare children's antiques wants to display it in a newborn's room or in a pediatrician's office or otherwise then that would make us happy too. Just as long as you promise to take good care. It is the shape, the social-cultural history, the patina and the wonderful look and feel that makes this rare antique so wonderful to look at and so interesting to talk about.
Mind you, perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days is complimentary.
Maximum height x diameter of the base: 18.3 x 27.2 inches.

We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again).

- Extremely Rare Early 1900s Brass Altar Server Set or Church Mass Teaching SetLocated in Lisse, NLFor the collectors of very rare and museum worthy church 'teaching tools'. We had heard of the existence of sets like this, but we had never seen one anywhere. To have found one from the Arts & Crafts era and in this amazing condition more than made our day. Including the altar cards (of which we are not sure if they are original to this set) and including the spoons we have counted 24 pieces in total. We learned that these sets functioned as a training tool for altar boys and this particular set has been extremely well taken care after. The wear on the holy water sprinkler with its ebonized wooden handle shows us that this set has been used more than what the excellent condition brass pieces would lead you to believe. Included in this set are 6 candle holders, a monstrance, a ciborium, a holy water container, a church censer, a boat, a sprinkler with vessel, altar cards, a chalice, an altar bell...Category
