About the Item

A Charming And Very Untouched Mid 19th Century Victorian Pine Wheelbarrow, Of Childs Scale, Retaining Attractive Period Green Painted Finish With Gold Line Detailed Decoration, Including The Name Ronald, Having Original Shaped Handles, Solid Shaped Sides And Original Small Wooden Wheel.  This slightly unusual item would have been made in the 19th century as a wheelbarrow for a child. It would probably have been a scaled version of the same design full size one being made for the main house at the same time and the inscription Ronald also suggests that maybe it was a gift to young Ronald.  Now of course it could be used in a variety of different ways, both inisde the home and out. Just a few uses we could think of is as a decorative fireside log container, an unusual waste paper basket, something to transport a pets food around in, or even just as a lovely and interesting decorative item. It is well weathered and worn, as one would expect and want for and article like this of the age it is. What is nice however is that it appears to reatain its original 19th century painted finish. It also retains its original wooden wheel which is a lovely feature. This is an unusual and interesting item which is in an extremely nice untouched condition. So there are lots of old blemishes, scuffs, scrapes, repairs and similar as one would expect, all of which add to the overall appeal of the piece. For clarity however it is very much fit for original purpose and the operational. Circa 1870. Height 15.5in. Width 30.25in. Depth 17in.
