Pair of 19th century Welsh Oxen yokes
A pair of Welsh ox yokes dating from the 1800s.
***Shipping is not included, it is by collection or courier. Please read details at the bottom of this section***
In a wonderful coloured wood, probably yellow birch, the timber has a lovely warm tone and sculptural shape.
They were used pre-industrialisation by farmers to join two oxen or bullocks to plough the land or transport goods to market on a trailer.
Oxen worked in pairs and were matched in size and strength. They were calmer than horses, would eat anything and were hardier beasts. They remained in their pairs for life.
These antique yokes look great on a cottage, barn or farmhouse wall or in a corner. Also great in a country pub or hotel.
Sculptural in form, and attractive display pieces which link us to a lifestyle long lost to the past.
These measure 118cm wide X 45-56cm in height X 7cm deep.
*** Due to the size and weight of this item it will be sent by courier from Cardiff. You may also of course collect it or arrange a courier yourself. Shipping by courier arranged by us is to be paid by the buyer directly to the courier on delivery. A price will be arranged by us in advance with a courier we have used many times and agreed with the buyer before confirmation. This cost will be reasonable as the regular courier gets a lot of work from us. Buyer’s contact details will be passed to the courier with their permission in order to arrange a suitable delivery day and time. ***
