1353 - Traditional transport cart, Spanish Popular School, 19th Century

Traditional transport cart, Spanish Popular School, 19th Century Assembled wood and wrought iron. An open, rectangular agricultural cart designed for transporting goods and tools in traditional rural settings. The piece features large spoked wheels reinforced with metal rims and retains its original hitching and support elements, demonstrating its former practical function. The surfaces show marked erosion from prolonged use and environmental exposure, with open grain, losses of polychromy, and oxidation that lend chromatic depth and rich material expression to the whole. The composition reflects models of 19th-century Spanish vernacular carpentry, where structural simplicity, stability, and mechanical resistance predominated. The formal austerity is enriched by the powerful expressiveness of the aged textures and the nobility of the original materials, making the piece a magnificent example of rural decorative arts and traditional ethnographic heritage.
