Lot 205:
Pair, Draft Horses & Logging Wagon
Description
A large-scale model diorama featuring a matched pair of chestnut draft horses pulling a four-wheeled logging wagon, mounted on a dark brown rectangular wooden laminate base. The horses are constructed from a molded material with realistic painted details, including lighter shading on the lower legs and muzzles. They are outfitted in highly detailed work harnesses made of black faux-leather straps, accented with metal studs, rings, and chains. The harnesses feature red-trimmed collars, blinkered bridles, and tiny metal bells on the hames. The wooden wagon is painted green on the body with a red undercarriage and spoked wheels. The front axle is mounted on a rotating bolster to allow for steering. The wagon includes a raised, red-painted driver’s bench mounted on metal springs. The cargo consists of a pyramid-stacked load of thirteen natural-finish wood cylinders representing logs. The wheels are functional and secured with metal nuts. The reins are secured at the front of the wagon with a small white plastic fastener. No maker marks or signatures are visible on the horses, wagon, or base. Length: 19 inches (base).
