Description from the seller

Early 20th Century Antique Wooden Child’s Tricycle – c. 1905–1915 – Original Paint

Description

A beautiful and authentic early 20th-century wooden child’s tricycle, dating from approximately 1905–1915.

This is an original example retaining its wonderful period character, featuring:

* Original painted wooden body with hand-painted decorative lining
* Original wooden seat with backrest
* Steel spoked wheels with solid rubber tyres
* Cast and forged steel steering assembly
* Original pedal mechanism
* Beautiful untouched patina throughout
* Completely unrestored condition

The tricycle shows honest wear consistent with its age of more than 100 years, making it an attractive collector’s item. The faded red factory inscription on the wooden platform is still partially visible, although no maker’s name can currently be identified.

Examples of this quality and originality are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

The tricycle is structurally complete and retains its original finish. Paint loss, scratches, oxidation and age-related wear are present, all consistent with over a century of use. Please study the photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
