About the Item

19th century Hovis, grocery and post office delivery hand cart This enduring piece was made in the 19th century, by closely examining the script you can see it has changed hands a few time even back then This Charming Dray was made over 100 years ago in wood, the cart has been sign painted some years ago advertising the services of “G Dew” Also visible are advertisements for “POST OFFICE” “HOVIS” and addresses in ANERLY Croydon Rd S.E and Norwood Junction SE25. The Cart has 2 large wood and iron Cart wheels (40” in diameter) and a third stabilising wheel, several opening doors and a deep drawer The Paint work on the cart is in need of restoration, one of the wheels will need replacing, there is a fair bit of wood worm damage, and the canvas covered dome top roof is in need of some attention So a project opportunity and well worth the restoring a very rare museum piece like this The cart is 64” high, ( when level ), 72” long overall and 45” wide GB134.

1900s Belgian Wooden Carriage
Located in High Point, NC
This antique wooden carriage was produced in 1900 in Belgium. A large carriage painted in black, displaying the inscription “Peintures Constant Smal” in dark red lettering. Standing firm on sturdy wheels, the wooden cart conjures the daily routine of labor, the carrying of paint cans to their destination for Constant Smal’s small company. The slightly cracked finish and distressed patina lend a picturesque touch to this gem of rustic engineering.
