Buyer's premium:

A steampunk-style decorative sculpture repurposed from an antique Singer sewing machine head in the Sphinx pattern, fashioned to resemble a motorised tractor. The black cast-iron machine body retains traces of original gold-toned floral decals and the Singer Manufacturing Company trademark seal. The assemblage is mounted on a four-wheel chassis featuring two large, treaded rubber tyres at the rear and two small, solid black wheels at the front. Notable additions include a silver-toned metal cylinder mimicking an exhaust pipe and a central rectangular block representing an engine. The rear tyres are marked DUNLOP and include the embossed text NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE.
