Wood Carnival Horse For Sale on 1stDibs
At 1stDibs, there are many versions of the ideal wood carnival horse for your home. Frequently made of wood, metal and iron, every wood carnival horse was constructed with great care. Your living room may not be complete without a wood carnival horse — find older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 20th Century. A wood carnival horse made by folk art designers — as well as those associated with mid-century modern — is very popular. Michael Garman each produced at least one beautiful wood carnival horse that is worth considering.
How Much is a Wood Carnival Horse?
A wood carnival horse can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $3,075, while the lowest priced sells for $850 and the highest can go for as much as $12,500.
Finding the Right carnival-art for You
The collection of original antique and vintage carnival art on 1stDibs includes paintings and posters that promoted traveling carnivals and circuses of years past as well as masks, sculptures and other works of folk art associated with widespread public celebrations that mark the start of harvest season or are rooted in religion.
The concept of “Carnival” is linked to an event that precedes Lent, the season of preparation before Easter for Christians (it may also have roots in Ancient Rome’s pagan Saturnalian festival), while the modern traveling carnival that we know — i.e., amusement fairs — existed during the 19th century in North America. The Chicago World’s Fair in 1893 was pivotal to these traveling amusement fairs.
Some of the most famous celebrations of Carnival around the world include Karneval in Germany, Carnival in Brazil and Mardi Gras in the United States. Carnival in Barbados is a traditional harvest festival. The bright colors, the caricatured masks and floats and the over-the-top nature of Carnival continue to enthrall millions across the globe.
Carnivals have always given way to impressive displays of creativity and folk art. Folk art is art created by people who are not classically trained for either utilitarian or decorative purposes. With respect to visual art in folk art, it refers to work that is reflective of a community’s culture and usually handmade by craftspeople working within a popular tradition.
Carnival art reflects the way different cultures celebrate or mark an important community event. Some examples of Carnival art include fabric dolls and marionettes that are used to tell stories and capture your imagination. Antique dolls make for striking collectibles positioned for display on any shelf in your home, while carnival masks make a bold statement as wall art. A collection of masks could create an elevated accent wall in a living room or dining room.
Browse 1stDibs to find unique antique and vintage carnival art for your space today.
