Authentic, Gypsy Bowtop Waggon

This is our imported bowtop waggon.  It is the waggon that Jeff drove to Appleby Fair in 2004.  It is proudly featured in John Hockensmith’s book, “Gypsy Horses & The Travelers’ Way”, where the author documents a the journey of English Gypsies to the annual Appleby Horse Fair.   Jeff was the first American to make the 5-day, 65 mile drive in his own living waggon.  It has been a showpiece on the farm and at exhibits & exhibitions around the country.
 
      This waggon is about 10 years old, and was built by Philip Jowett & Sons.  It was painted by Yorkie Greenwood.  This waggon is one of two identical waggons built for brothers.
 
     This is a proper and respectable waggon throughout.  The woodwork is completely hand-carved inside and out.  It is finished in 24ct gold throughout as well.  The inside is a bed that expands to become double-wide.  A cast-iron reproduction Queen-Anne (queenie) stove is fitted with a stovepipe extending out the top of the roof.  This stove can burn either wood or coal safely.  There is plenty of storage under the bed with three drawers, a slide-out table, and large storage area below.  The inside front corners feature  tall china-type cabinets with etched glass doors.  Etched mirrors & window glass plus satin curtains make this a first class vehicle.

     It is the finest waggon of its kind in North America, and is worthy of a spot in a private collection or museum.  It boasts superior quality and craftsmanship.

     Delivery arrangements gladly made.
