About the Item
Art Deco French Barware Carousel – Attributed to H.P. Company, Circa 1940
A captivating example of French Art Deco design, this rare barware accessory was meticulously crafted in France circa 1940. Designed for cocktail service, the piece features a carousel adorned with twelve glass markers, each topped with a finely carved horse head in off-white Galalith and numbered in black from 1 to 12.
The carousel stand itself is a striking composition of tortoiseshell Bakelite, tropical wood, and Galalith—materials emblematic of the era's luxurious aesthetic. The sculptural horse heads lend a whimsical yet refined touch, making this piece both functional and decorative.
Though not signed, the model is widely attributed to the H.P. Company, known for its imaginative and high-quality bar accessories. This conversation-starting centerpiece is ideal for collectors and hosts alike, offering a unique blend of elegance, craftsmanship, and historical charm.
Dimensions: 3.38 in diameter (8.5 cm) by 4.32 in high (11 cm).
