| Tricycle horse
We are happy to tell you that we've received another rare antique object in consign. This horse is available for purchase. A real museumpiece. The French firm of A. Garnier was the major manufacturer of rocking horses and tricycle horses from 1890 until 1922. Although velocipedes were very popular, they were accident-prone. The castings were brittle and cracked easily. The oldest velocipedes have been often repaired at some time, but this one is completely original and therefore unique. The horse and typical French slender body has still its original paint. This large tricycle is still functioning!
Another example is in the French museum: Union
Centrale des Arts Décoratifs Musée in Paris.
