A beautiful rendition of the a Penny-farthing bicycle that was first invented in Paris by a bicycle maker named Eugene Meyer. These bicycles became a common source of transportation before the newer and safer versions of the 1880's. Measuring a little over 8 inches in height, it is mounted securely on a base measuring 6.25" x 1.5." This is a stand alone piece hand-scrolled from Red Oak. Perfect for creating a unique touch to any display area in your home.
