Antique Edwardian Sterling Silver Miniature Wheelbarrow Mappin and Webb 1908

A charming antique Edwardian sterling silver miniature wheelbarrow by Mappin and Webb, hallmarked for Sheffield 1908. Modelled in the form of a traditional garden wheelbarrow, it features a rectangular tray with attractive pierced geometric and foliate decoration to the sides, supported by slender framework and a single spoked front wheel.
