An Ode to Malta’s Painted Carts

Maltese Traditional Cartful is Anton Farrugia’s tribute to the iconic painted carts that once carried the island’s harvests from fields to markets. This vibrant photograph shows a beautifully woven basket overflowing with local vegetables — knotted garlic, tomatoes, green peppers — all nested within the colourful frame of a hand-painted cart wheel.

Where Craftsmanship Meets Countryside

Through Anton’s lens, the viewer is invited to witness the bond between Maltese craftsmanship and rural life. The basket’s bounty, paired with the artistry of the cart, reminds us how deeply tradition and everyday work remain woven together in village culture.

Bring Heritage Into Your Home

As wall art, Maltese Traditional Cartful brings a burst of colour and cultural pride to any space. Perfect for farmhouse-style kitchens, rustic cafés, or collectors of local heritage — this piece is a joyful nod to Malta’s enduring connection with its land and its people.
