Antique Sicilian Cart Wheels - Wood With Iron Rims, Elaborately Carved


⭕ I am offering a pair of full size antique cart wheels that came off a Sicilian cart. The making of elaborately carved and painted carts is a Sicilian cultural art form. These wheels reflect the craftsmanship and artistic skill that goes into the making of these carts. Wooden parts are hand carved and hand painted, and the metal pieces are hand forged. The wheels are about 50 inches in diameter, and each wheel weights about 100 pounds. I purchased the cart at auction in the mid 1980s. At that time the cart was already an antique, but was complete and still in working condition. Later I dissembled the cart so that many of the elaborately decorated pieces could be displayed as folk art throughout our home.

Because of their size and weight, the buyer must make a local pickup in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I have the axle (solid steel), braking mechanism, and some other miscellaneous parts and will include these with the wheels if the buyer wishes.

Thank you for viewing.

Here is some additional background information that may be of interest. (I have not been able to create working links here, so the following are web addresses that you will have to highlight and right-click, or insert in your browsers address bar.)

First, here is the address to a webpage that has a good image of Sicilian cart wheels and also gives a good brief history of these carts:
