Wooden Cart with Five Plaster Barrels for 8 cm Nativity Figures

This miniature wooden cart with five plaster barrels is designed in proportion to 8 cm Nativity figures. It is a high-quality handcrafted piece, made from natural materials and carefully finished down to the finest detail by a skilled artisan for LCR Presepi di Messi Leandro. It features a rectangular structure with side panels designed to secure the barrels during transport. The cart is equipped with two long parallel front shafts, typical of traditional hand-drawn or animal-drawn carts, and two wooden wheels. The wheels are crafted from cut wooden discs and reinforced with two cross braces, while the simple joints and construction reflect the authentic character of rustic farm carts. The cart carries five barrels arranged to maximise the available space, with two stacked on top of the other three to create the appearance of a fully loaded wagon. Each plaster barrel is decorated with engraved staves, detailed end caps and raised features that faithfully reproduce the structure of real wooden barrels. Their dark brown finish, enhanced with subtle lighter shades, recreates the appearance of weathered timber. Inspired by the carts traditionally seen in medieval markets and rural villages, this finely detailed miniature is an ideal accessory for Nativity displays, historical dioramas and countryside scenes, adding authenticity and timeless character.

Note: This is a handcrafted item. Minor variations in shape, colour and details may occur, making each piece unique and distinctive.
