Mountain Sleigh or Troika in Original Paint
Ref: 4101
A decorative and very good condition antique sleigh, made of hardwood and with the original red paint. There are two double seats, the back one has a box compartment.
Decorative metalwork in old gold colour paint, consists of hand holds and supports and at the front is in the form of symbolic confronted snake heads. It's a compact piece but don't be fooled by the images here, it is not an over-sized toboggan, in Russian territory these are called 'troika" owing to the fact that it would be pulled by three horses. These make a great decorative feature in shop, restaurant, or private garden, we sold one once for somebody's living room and you could even use it for it's original purpose.
