About the Item
This superb and ultra rare early folk art scale model of a gypsy or traveller’s caravan is over one hundred years old. It has been beautifully hand made and finely painted. It has glass windows, a hinged half door, spoked wheels with heavy wrought iron rims and an intricate front turning mechanism.
The paintwork is completely original and done to a very high standard. It has a pin-line decoration throughout over its maroon and mustard base colour.
There are also panels of ornate hand painted flowers around the front, back and sides.
This fine model is fully signed with the name, address and date of its maker on the underside of the horses’ shafts, built by RD Roberts, 1907, 35 Grange Road, West Birkenhead.
The condition of the caravan is very good. The paintwork has developed a lovely aged surface and patina.
The wheels, with age, have gone out of true in places but still rotate and function.
A rare example and a true antique gem for any collector.
Height 52cm x width 90cm including the horses’ shafts x depth 30cm
English, made in 1907.
Please note, this item is fragile and would need a specialist packing firm if being delivered outside the U.K. Delivery within the U.K. would be a standard price.
