Antique Children’s Wooden Horse Tricycle with Metal Wheels

This charming antique children's pedal tricycle, likely dating from the early 1900s, features a beautifully hand-carved wooden horse body with a light-coloured fibrous mane and a distinct saddle. The horse's head is detailed, giving the piece a lively character despite its age. The tricycle frame and large spoked wheels are constructed from metal, showing significant surface rust and wear consistent with its historical use and exposure. A visible chain drive mechanism connects the pedals, located on either side of the horse's body, to the smaller rear wheel. The wooden components exhibit a rich, deep brown with reddish undertones, displaying an aged patina, along with cracks and imperfections that highlight its genuine antique status. The simple wooden handlebar completes its authentic vintage appeal. This piece, while no longer functional as a ride-on toy, makes a captivating display item, perfect for adding character to a living room, library, or a themed children's room, offering a tangible link to early 20th-century childhood.
