This stunning sculpture, created by the artist Ray Ayres for Border Fine Arts, was commissioned by The Posthorn, Castle Douglas. It is presented here in the original box and protective packaging together with a Certificate of Quality and the Certificate of Authenticity which certifies that it is number 250 of a strictly limited golden Edition of 350 pieces out of an edition of 950. It is a large model, 19ins (49cm) in length and in superb condition. “Clean Sweep” depicts a farmer and his horse’sweeping’ up the hay using a wooden Haysweep (or Tumbling Tam), an American invention that arrived in Britain in the late nineteenth century. Employed with a single, steady fast walking horse it scooped up the hay in a mounting pile ready to be dropped into a cart. The classic scene, captured here, would have been a common sight until the advent of pick-up hay balers in the 1950’s. Thank you for your interest. Please check out my other listings.

The (PJ01) “Gentle Giants” sculpture by Ray Ayers, manufactured by Border Fine Arts in 1992, is a limited-edition collectable piece made of top-quality resin. The standard edition was issued in a Limited edition of 750. This is the RARE GOLD edition limited to 150 and is signed by the artist. It is number 31/150. There is no box or certificate, but the limited-edition status is clearly visible on the piece itself. It is presented on a handsome light wood plinth which bears the Gentle Giants legend on an engraved metal plate. This very rare piece is in need of some restoration hence the reduced asking price. The restoration is actually a case of repositioning the central strut then “sorting out” the chains etc! A task requiring nimbler fingers than mine! Please check out the photographs which are part of the description. This large figurine stands at 15inches (length) and 9inches (height). Handmade in Scotland, it depicts a Tetley Dray, pulled by “Rodney” & “Jasper” on parade with the drivers proudly clad in their ceremonial uniforms. Thank you for your interest.
