Sicilian Cart (folkloristic model)

'Carretino Siciliano'. Sicilian folkloristic cart and horse. This charming collectable made in the Palermo style is a coloured board model with hand-painted gesso figures. It typically features illustrations of Ruggiero, crowned the first king of Sicily in 1130. L13"/33cm. H7"/18cm. A gift from Trapani, Sicily, about 25 years ago. Has been on display. Feathers a little faded, has been dusted down. The model has delicate wooden components so collection preferred. See photos for details. €30.
The Sicilian Cart was an ornate, two-wheeled wooden cart pulled by a horse, donkey, or mule which evolved during the 19th century, accelerated by Bourbon road expansions around 1830, from a basic rural work vehicle into a mobile canvas of folk art.
