A wooden whiffletree, once used in traditional horse-drawn harness systems to evenly distribute the pulling load between horses or between the horse and the implement being pulled. Crafted from solid timber and fitted with metal hardware, it reflects the practical craftsmanship of early rural and farming life.
With its simple, functional design and authentic age, this piece carries plenty of rustic character. The worn timber and aged metal fittings add to its charm and tell the story of years of honest work.
