SICILIAN CART STYLE DECORATED ITEMS
We are glad to display a collection of unique hand crafted and hand-painted Sicilian cart style decorated artwork following the most authentic Sicilian tradition used by the ancient cart makers.
We are inspired by the Sicilian cart (or “carrettu sicilianu” in Sicilian), an ornate, colorfully decorated horse or donkey-drawn cart native to the island of Sicily.
This is one of the most famous symbols of Sicily in the world!
Sicilian carts are known for being covered with carvings and brightly painted scenes from Sicilian history, paladins, and folklore as well as intricate geometrical designs.
The same traditional style and adorning patterns of the Carretto motif are used to decorate other amazing items such as the cart wheel shaped earrings, the popular decorated Sicilian boxes and many other beautiful artwork.
Although you may find decorated artwork in the Sicilian cart style to buy online, note that they could be mass produced and printed by industrial machines.
All our decorated Sicilian items are 100% hand crafted and hand-painted by the most talented Sicilian artisans.
They follow the traditional style used in the province of Catania, one of the most refined styles in Sicily.
These authentic Sicilian ornaments will fill your home with joyful colors and our passion for life!
