About the Item

Highly decorative and elaborate green painted single horse drawn sleigh. Pictorial gold trimmed panels, flowers, and a gold painted griffin crowning the front are just of few of the elements that make this sled such a special find. A red velvet covered seat in rear for the driver and brass bells adorn the front. Strong and stable, this sleigh will now make an impressive decorative accent piece. Any scratches, cracks, dings, or age related separation are reflective of generations of use and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this rare original painted sleigh. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting may all impact how item is viewed.

Original Painted Pine Baby Cradle Rocker, Sweden 1850-55
Located in Round Top, TX
This delightful baby cradle was hand-crafted by a loving family in the mid 1800's. Note each of the narrow ends with dates and monograms. The original painted finish with red/orange panels, white flowers and green leaves is also gently appealing where the paint is worn away from years of use revealing the aged pine. The faux wood brown background was the traditional folk art style of the era. This wood cradle has been restored and waxed. It is solid/structurally sound. A new base/bottom has been added. An old alteration is seen along the rockers where it was raised up. Antique cradles...
