Why You’ll Love It
Whimsical, charming, and wonderfully French, this playful miniature goose push cart by Francine Coyon is an antique style children's toy and Victorian garden accessory. Expertly handcrafted in 1:12 scale, the piece combines fine wickerwork, delicate metal craftsmanship, and an endearing goose figurehead. The body of the cart is a basket seat woven from fine wicker with a wooden bottom. At the front, a sculpted white goose serves as the cart's decorative figurehead. With its softly detailed feathers, bright yellow bill, and tiny green ribbon tied around its neck, this piece brings a storybook quality. The seat rests upon three metal wheels with a slender metal push handle.
Perfect for a nursery, garden room, toy shop, conservatory, or Victorian dollhouse interior. It can also serve as a decorative display piece filled with flowers, toys, dolls, or seasonal accessories.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
