Dutch Children's Sled—18th Century

Charming and Exceptional 18th-Century Dutch Child’s or Infant’s Sledge

A rare and precious collector’s piece, this charming antique sledge is crafted from finely carved wood and hand-painted throughout.

Painted on all sides, it features delightful scenes of 18th-century Dutch village life: figures skating across frozen lakes, a windmill in the background, a farmer ploughing his fields, and more. These delicate details beautifully capture the charm and authenticity of this exceptional piece.

The runners are fitted with wrought iron, allowing the sledge to glide smoothly over the ice. The finely crafted wooden structure is complemented by a seat upholstered in rich red velvet, adding a touch of elegance and refinement.

The sledge is in superb condition and boasts a magnificent antique patina, enhancing its character and timeless appeal.

A rare and distinctive piece, particularly appealing for its authenticity, exquisite painted decoration and exceptional decorative presence.
