19th Century Charles Dare American Carousel Horse
Located in Forney, TX
This rare and enchanting hand carved and polychrome painted carousel "track" horse by Charles W. Dare is a important piece of antique Americana. One of the earlier works by one of the first carousel makers in the United States, this remarkable horse exudes undeniable character and charm.
Carved in a galloping or jumper position, this whimsical yet primitive country-fair style equine exhibits all the hallmarks of Dare’s design, such as the forward-facing ears, the perfectly combed assymetrical mane with a wind-blown effect, the tail made of realistic hair, and the distinctive “bird” saddle, which was carved separately and attached. Mounted on a fitting platform of simple design.
