A beautifully made mid-century brass horse and cart ornament with fully moving wheels and slats. This piece has a lovely weight to it at 847g and is crafted from solid brass with a smooth, polished finish. The cart and horse are cast in separate sections and assembled with traditional fixings, giving it a more detailed and higher-quality feel than the lightweight tourist versions.
The horse is shown in a proud, stepping pose, while the two-wheeled cart features a perforated footplate and a simple rail backrest. These brass horse-drawn carts were popular decorative pieces in the mid-20th century, often displayed on mantels or desks, and this example is a particularly well-made model with working parts.
A charming decorative accent for equestrian lovers, collectors of brassware or anyone who enjoys mid-century home décor.
