    This piece is in absolutely stunning condition. Based on my research, this was designed by Jean Louis Gourdoux for Jugnet out of Lyons France circa 1880s. All original, glass eyes still in place. About 27" in height and 36" long. These pieces typically sell in the high $5k range but this one needs a new home and so the price is $3750. Shipping will have to be arranged separately. I haven't been able to upload a pic because the site says my files are too large but here is a link to my dropbox location

    Is there any interest in this piece here? I am willing to accept offers (It's not fitting into my new decor, both from a style and space perspective)

    You may want to look around at some auction houses that may be holding a specialty auction that would encompass this type of item. JMHO

    I've seen the one at the Museum de Velo at Tournus, France, which is just up the road from Lyon. Yours is a Class above the velocipede horse tricycle at Tournus. Good luck with finding a new home for it.

    It's still a magnificent piece.

    Have you approached any of the many velo museums in France. I had a quick loo for a list, but didn't find one, so it may be long haul, however, it might result in a successful outcome.
