About the Item

This 1920s French hand-carved wooden carousel horse is a captivating relic of early 20th-century fairground craftsmanship, retaining remarkable character and charm. Sculpted with expressive detail, the horse features a gracefully arched neck, finely incised mane, and a sculptural saddle form that hints at its original painted decoration, now beautifully weathered by time. The patinated surface reveals layers of age and use, creating an authentic, timeworn appeal that collectors prize. Mounted on a shaped wooden base with remnants of its original support pole, the piece stands as both an evocative decorative object and a testament to traditional carving techniques. Ideal as a statement piece in eclectic, rustic, or antique-inspired interiors, this carousel horse brings history, whimsy, and sculptural presence to any setting.
