A unique antique doll wheelchair complete with a hand hooked rug cushion. The wheelchair is made of wooden dowels with simple decorative finials. The wheels are amazing, and are made of wood as well. The sweet hooked rug cushion features a little pink bird with a black beak and wings, sitting on hotsell sage green leaves. The cushion is bordered in sage green. The makers label is under the cushion and reads; Bute Arran, Baddeck, N. S., Canada. The art of rug hooking is a popular craft in this part of Canada, and is a favorite of many tourists.
The seat is covered with a piece of burgundy velvet, as found. There is a small dowel under the footrest which helps to keep the wheel chair upright. A small lightweight doll or teddy bear, as seen in the photo, is perfect for the chair. The overall condition of the wheelchair is good, with beautiful patina from age and use, one towel has a tiny piece of wood missing and measures; approximately 22 1/2" high, 12 1/2" wide side to side, 10 1/2" wide front to back, 8" diameter wheels, and 6" x 6 1/2" seat.
A wonderful antique wheelchair for your favorite doll or teddy bear and a great unique addition to an antique doll or toy collection.
