Mid-Century French Carved and Painted Carousel Horse on Metal Stand

About the Item

Crafted in France, circa 1960, this large, hand carved sculpture sits on an attached square iron base and depicts a colorful hand-painted horse figure. The horse features a flowing mane and a dynamic pose as if in mid-gallop, evoking a sense of movement and energy. Its body showcases the craftsmanship typical of carousel animals, with attention to detail in the saddle, bridle, and decorative trimmings. The horse figure is stabilized on a center pole through the center of the horse. The animal sculpture is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns vibrant colors. The art embodies both whimsical fun and artistic sophistication and could be used to decorate a children's room, or in a study or ranch house. A must for any horse lover! Measures: 59" W x 11" D x 54.5" H.
