Dutch Children's Sled With Coat Of Arms - 17th/18th Century
A rare, high-end children's sleigh, likely of Dutch origin, made of carved wood with gilded decoration,
The frame, featuring curved wrought-iron runners, supports a seat with a backrest and console-style armrests, adorned with gilded floral motifs and painted scenes. The side panels are decorated with two distinct painted coats of arms: one surmounted by a count’s crown with a motto on a banner, the other depicting an eagle with outstretched wings holding a shield featuring a maritime scene, indicating affiliation with a noble family from the United Provinces.
An exceptional piece attesting to the refinement of the Dutch merchant aristocracy of the 17th and 18th centuries.
Shows signs of age, with authentic patina and wear; the coats of arms are legible.
