Stunningly Restored Open Lot Wagon

Purchased by the previous owner from renowned artist and wagon restorer Peter Ingram about twenty years ago this amazing wagon has been barn stored, preserving it’s stunning detail and finish.

From the hundreds of angel scrolls, each carefully sanded and usually gold leafed, the mirrored cupboards inside, classic queenie stove and artwork this is a wagon that has taken many hours of care and attention to produce. It would be a statement on it’s own in the appropriate setting.

It is slightly larger than most wagons, with a width of over 8 ft, a fact reflected in the feeling of space inside, enhanced by being an open lot. The care and detail has been applied to the under works, shafts and steps, with sturdy metal barley twist shaft props to complete the picture.

The canvas, in 5 panels, has just been replaced (even in a barn, canvas seems to have a shelf life). The flaps have yet to be fitted.

The bed pulls out to make the usual double. There is ample storage space, including the external pan box.

The sturdy wooden wheels are in excellent condition.

This is not a cheap wagon, but the workmanship and detail would normally cost at least twice this asking price. It is, of course, a wagon needing a special home, ideally with winter storage from the elements.
