“A New Beginning” was created by the artist Vaughan Williams for Country Artists and manufactured exclusively for Peter Jones of Wakefield, the iconic store, ironically now closed after more than 60 years. It is a mighty piece, W43cm, D 38cm weighing more than 5 kg. It features a British Railways lorry delivering a tractor to Meltham farm. The lively scene is beautifully realised. Chickens, Geese and the Farm Cat all seem very interested in the new arrival and as the farmer chats to the lorry driver and his mate, his daughter can be seen stroking their horse, perhaps reassuring him that he’s not being totally replaced….. Thank you for your interest. Please check out my other listings.

The item is in good condition with no significant damage (chips/cracks) which I could find. Please see the photos for a more detailed view of the item to judge for yourself its condition. There may be the odd bump/manufacturing fault as is common in vintage/antique items. I have tried to take photos from every angle so this should help you form a decision as to its condition. 15cm high & 28cm long. The item has been well cared for and has seen very little use. The item will be sent well packaged and not just thrown into a plastic bag/cardboard box.
