Description

Antique Folk Art Childs Wheel Barrow in Original Paint. A unique piece of folk art, in totally original condition. We know the original owner 'Eric Taylor' a seven year old boy from County Somerset, England. The barrow dates from the late 1800s.

An astonishing find, with the most wonderful original paint throughout and coachline decoration. This barrow has been loved and revered for many generations of the same family.

The barrow most likely made by a coach builder for his son. Look at the amazing skill in the coach line painting. Then look at the construction of the wheel, the four spokes with large block dovetails into the outer wooden rim, the exterior with metal protection.

Every length of wood is faceted, and coach lined.

This barrow is an incredible survivor made with absolute love for the recipient.

Date of Manufacture

Mark Davis Antiques has dated this Antique Wooden Barrow to the 1900s.

FAQs

Antique folk art barrows are utilitarian agricultural or garden transport vehicles crafted by hand or small-scale local makers, often featuring hand-painted lettering, traditional joinery, and distinct regional designs that reflect everyday rural life.

These utility items were traditionally built from sturdy domestic timbers such as elm, oak, and ash for durability, often featuring iron reinforcement straps, bolts, and a single wooden or iron-shod wheel.

Authenticity is identified through genuine age-related wear, original surface patination or historical painted finishes, hand-cut nails or early joinery techniques, and structural wear patterns consistent with heavy manual use.

Such pieces can be utilised as sculptural focal points in garden rooms, boot rooms, or open-plan living spaces, often serving as rustic display vessels for potted plants, textiles, or logs.

Preservation requires keeping the item in a stable environment away from excess moisture and direct sunlight to protect the fragile original paint, occasionally applying a microcrystalline wax to seal the historic wood surface.
