A trio of decorative winter sleighs and sleds intended for seasonal display or interior styling. The group includes a black-painted metal wirework sleigh, designed with an open-basket seat and scrollwork detailing on the sides and runners. Also included is a traditional pull sledge of planked construction, featuring a red-painted top surface detailed with parallel black border lines that follow the contour of the curved front, a grey-painted underside, and wooden runners fitted with metal strips. This sledge is fitted with a natural fibre rope handle attached by metal brackets. The third item is a medium-sized solid wooden sledge finished in uniform red paint, featuring curved front runners, a scalloped cutout at the rear of the seat board, and a natural fibre rope handle tied to the front points. Condition: The wooden sledges exhibit significant cosmetic wear, including widespread paint loss, chipping, scratching, and weathering consistent with age and use. The metal wirework sleigh shows minor surface scuffing but retains a uniform black finish and a stable structure.
