About the Item

Rare Antique Children Carousel Bear, Germany early 20th Century Item e7299 A wooden carved children's carousel bear decorated with polychrome colors, made in Germany around 1920. Original unrestored condition, partially repainted, traces of use according to the old age, some minor imperfections. A great addition to any sophisticated interior decoration. The first carousel horses were created in the 18th century for the entertainment of aristocrats. The enthusiasm spread to broad sections of the population and the Vienna Prater was opened with a carousel in 1766. Germany developed into a center of carousel construction. Famous manufacturers included Friedrich Heyn, Hermann Thümmel, Karl Müller and Fritz Botmann. The artfully carved horses and classic carriages were supplemented with exotic animals such as lions, tigers, giraffes, zebras and elephants. The range of vehicles included gondolas, trills, globes, carriages, sledges, ships and later also cars. Pioneers of the first generation of showmen in the United States were Gustav A. Dentzel. Karl J.D. Loof and Frank Hrubetz, who designed and constructed great rides. The world wars of the 20th century meant the end of carousel art.
