Description
This vintage pickup truck figurine is a small metal ornament with plenty of character, finished in silver with warm copper-tone detail. It is modelled on a classic open-bed pickup, with a rounded cab, a ribbed grille, round headlamps, flared wheel arches and a running board along each side. The grille, hubcaps, bumpers and lamps pick out the copper tone against the silver body, and a spare wheel sits on the side of the truck just behind the front arch. The finish has an aged, weathered look, darker at the edges and in the recesses, so it feels like a well-loved old vehicle rather than a shiny showroom model. It measures 11cm long, 5.5cm high and 5.5cm deep.
At 11cm long, it is sized for a shelf, a mantelpiece, a desk or a bookcase, where it adds a touch of old-fashioned charm without taking up much room. It sits happily in a study, a home office or a living room, and the silver and copper tones suit warm woods, leather and industrial pieces alike. It stands on its own four wheels, so it needs no stand or fixing: simply set it down wherever you would like it. It is a decorative ornament for display rather than a toy.
The truck is made from metal, with detail to find from every angle, from the four round lamps on the tailgate to the steering wheel inside the cab and the slim bumper across the back. To look after it, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth and keep it somewhere dry to protect the finish. Set it at a slight angle on a shelf so the grille and front bumper catch the eye, or stand it beside a few old books for a relaxed vintage corner. Wrapped with a card, it makes a charming little present.
