A decorative model of a Shire horse in full heavy harness pulling a two-wheeled wooden cart. The horse is constructed from glazed ceramic with a glossy bay finish, featuring white feathered legs and a black mane and tail, posed in a walking gait with one front hoof raised. The harness is composed of black leather straps, metal chain-link traces, and several miniature brass-toned horse brasses attached to the martingales and headpiece. The cart is constructed from wood with metal-toned decorative elements on the headboard. Based on the scale and design, this set is attributed to makers such as Melba Ware or Beswick.
Length including cart 27 inches.
