Questions About Antique Carousel Horse
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    Technically, the difference between a carousel and a merry-go-round is that the animals on a carousel move up and down. In contrast, those on a merry-go-round are usually stationary. Historically, another difference between the two was that carousels were motorized, and merry-go-rounds featured hand-crank operations. However, both types of rides usually feature motors today. Many people also use the two terms interchangeably. Shop a collection of carousel horses on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell if a carousel horse is an antique, consider the construction. True antiques are normally hollow wood and have one-piece designs. Solid wood horses and those that have detachable ears and tails are likely to be reproductions. You'll find a variety of expertly vetted antique carousel horses 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Some telltale signs indicate if a carousel horse is a genuine antique. Most antiques are hollow, and all the body parts are permanently attached. Many modern carousel horses have detachable ears or tails. Because people looking at the carousel would only see the side facing out, most companies didn't pay to have both sides of the horse detailed — therefore, an authentic antique horse will likely only have carving and jewels on one side. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly-vetted carousel horses from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    New carousel horses are made out of tropical wood, like Phillipine mahogany. Older antique carousel figures were carved out of basswood, pine and poplar. You’ll find a variety of carousel-inspired artwork from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    To tell if a rocking horse is antique, first look for a label or mark that indicates the manufacturer’s name. Some makers of antique rocking horses include F.H. Ayers, Collinsons Sons, G J Lines, Crossley Brothers and Stevenson Brothers. If you're unable to find a maker's mark, you may wish to enlist the help of a certified appraiser or antiques dealer who is knowledgeable about rocking horses. Shop a variety of rocking horses on 1stDibs.
