An English scale model of an early 19th century Hanson cab circa 1920
About the Item
This fine and very well accomplished scratch built model is very pleasing to the eye with its exceptional detail, good scale and bright crisp paintwork.
It represents an early 19th-century Hanson cab, originally designed by Joseph Hanson in 1834. These lightweight and very manoeuvrable small carriages were very staple and nimble and only required a single horse. These elements greatly reduced the cost of such personal transport, making these cabs very popular in London and the larger towns and cities throughout the 19th century.
The model is predominantly wood and metal. It has real glass windows, padded leather cloth seating, and leather rims on the wheels.
The passengers sat with a good degree of comfort and shelter but still partially open to the elements at the upper front. While the driver sat high up at the back with no shelter.
This wonderful model is fitted with accurate spring suspension and wonderfully detailed lift out oil lamps and a separate whip. It has hinged doors and an opening roof hatch. The paintwork is very neatly done in mustard and black with pin line detailing.
This fine model is a rare and lovely example in very good condition and it would be a pleasing addition to any collection or home.
Maximum height including the whip in position: 30cm x width 40cm x depth 19cm

19th Century Carved Oak Study of St. Paul the Apostle, English, circa 1860
Located in Central England, GB
This remarkable and very finely carved study of the biblical figure of St Paul, The Apostle who was originally Saul of Tarsus born BCE. Tarsus in Cilicia (now in Turkey). He died circa 62 – 64 CE in Rome, Italy. He was one of the leaders of the first generation Christians and was often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. This highly accomplished wood carving is a difficult material for detailing English oak. It shows him standing barefoot and dressed in simple robes with a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other. His face has been well captured with a good expression, detailed hair and a long beard. The small scale of this figure would indicate it was not originally church decoration...
