An exceptional early 20th-century Swiss Davos sled, embodying the romance and craftsmanship of traditional Alpine winter sports.
Beautifully constructed from solid wood with elegantly curved ends and original steel runners, this classic sled retains its sought-after “DAVOS” stamp, a mark long associated with quality Swiss manufacture. 
The softly worn patina to the timber and the gentle oxidation to the metal runners speak to its authentic history and careful use over time.
Originally designed for snow-covered Alpine slopes, Davos sleds have become highly desirable decorative objects, favoured by interior designers for ski chalets, country houses and characterful hospitality spaces. When styled indoors, they make a striking sculptural statement and are particularly effective as a coffee table base with a glass top.
This example is structurally sound and presented in original condition, retaining all the charm and character one would expect from a genuine period piece.A rare and evocative object that brings warmth, texture and a sense of Alpine heritage to any interior.
