About the Item
A sculptural icon of American carousel artistry, this hand-carved C.W. Parker horse exemplifies the craftsmanship, motion, and whimsy that define the golden age of amusement carving. Each component—the body, neck, and head—is individually hollowed and joined in the classic Parker sectional technique, allowing internal airflow to prevent warping and ensure lasting stability.
The carving is dynamic and expressive, a boldly flowing mane, ornate saddle and harness details, and powerful musculature across the chest and legs convey both grace and vitality. The sculpted anatomy and decorative embellishments attest to the skill of Parker’s workshop carvers, renowned for balancing structural ingenuity with artistic flourish.
The painted surface bears an aged, authentic patina, likely early or period, with visible brushwork and accent colors around the mane, hooves, and saddle. Expected surface checking, light paint loss, and scuffs lend historic depth without detracting from the visual integrity—hallmarks of a life well-lived on the carousel circuit.
Attributed to C.W. Parker Amusement Company, known for its pioneering “Carry-Us-All” rides and vibrant menagerie figures, this horse reflects Parker’s dedication to craftsmanship and his signature motifs of Americana and regional flora.
Mounted on a sturdy display base, the piece makes a commanding sculptural statement in both residential and gallery settings. Its curves, texture, and timeworn color imbue warmth and nostalgic charm, bridging folk art and fine art with equal strength.
