Antiques & Collectables, Coins, Gold & Silver (14% Buyers Commission)
This large-scale decorative model represents an early 20th-century Edwardian style open-top touring car, resembling vehicles such as the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. It is constructed from painted tinplate and sheet metal components. The four-door body is finished in red with a black-painted interior and features various applied details including spoked wheels with rubber-effect tyres, a side-mounted spare wheel, a front-mounted crank handle, a mesh-effect radiator grille, and twin large headlamps. The model is a static decorative piece and does not contain a clockwork or battery-operated mechanism. There are no manufacturer marks or labels visible on the piece. It is likely a contemporary decorative object produced in a folk art or shabby chic style rather than a period toy from the early 20th century.
Condition report:
The model features an intentionally distressed and aged paint finish with simulated wear and rubbing to the red and black surfaces to provide a vintage aesthetic. It appears to be complete as a decorative item. A layer of surface dust is present throughout.
