Carousel Horse
About the Item
This exceptional piece of American folk art was displayed by the Whitneys in the same drawing room as the Picasso masterpiece "Garcon a la Pipe", which was recently sold for the highest price ever attained for a painting. The horse is very similar in quality and stature to those in the Havermayer Webb collection of the Shelbourne Museum in Shelbourne, Vermont. A true piece of American folk art.
Note: Charles W. Dare founded the earliset American carousel animal company in the United States. He began his company in New York City in 1870, and oversaw it until his death in 1900, after which it ceased operations, His carousel animals were widely imitated by competitiors, but Dare's figures have a singularly charming naive quality; it is believed that the horses were designed by Samuel Robb, well known for his cigar-store Indians.
