About the Item

A late Victorian oak smoker’s companion in the form of a horse drawn delivery van, 1897, a hinged lid encloses two compartments, with a pipe rack and vesta case to the front, and a drawer and faux drawer with hidden escutcheons to the rear, the whole on brass wheels with an impressed registration number. Towards the end of the 19th century more prosperous tradesmen preferred horse drawn delivery vans – as opposed to the earlier handcarts. Bakery vans had an enclosed rear body with a top rail to lodge spare baskets and trays. Grocery and laundry vans were of similar design and shape. Size: 9.5inches (24cm) high, 12 inches (30cm) long.
