Description
Traditional rural cart with barred sides, Spanish Popular School, 19th century
Carved and assembled wood with wrought iron fittings. An antique agricultural cart, originally built for rural work using animal traction, with an open rectangular frame and sides formed by vertical bars that lend visual lightness to the solid structure. The large spoked wheels, reinforced with metal rims, retain a rich patina of use, evident in the oxidation, wear and marks accumulated over time. The surface of the wood displays natural cracks, weathering and remnants of heavily worn polychrome paint, enriching the piece’s aesthetic appeal and accentuating its authentic folk character. The construction exemplifies traditional artisanal techniques typical of 19th-century rural Spain, designed to ensure strength and functionality in daily agricultural work. The robustness of its forms, the beauty of the aged textures, and the strong ethnographic element make this cart an extraordinary piece of decorative art linked to the historical heritage of rural Spain.
