<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 47296, member: 45&quot;]All I know is that these painted carts are from Sicily.&nbsp; Supposedly the tradition of the painted carts dates back to the early Greek settlers on the island.&nbsp; It is a long-standing folk art with slightly different styles being made in each province, and the carts are popular souvenir items from there.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are similar painted carts from Costa Rica, but the wheels on those are generally solid, without spokes, and they are usually pulled by oxen rather than horses.</p><p><br /></p><p>No idea about prices.&nbsp; Not too many of these show up on the market.&nbsp; But I would say, based on the colored feathers, type of trim used, and the chain, that these are not truly &quot;antique.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mid-20th Century or newer would be my guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
