Place of origin: Germany
Carved in Germany around 1900, this Belle Époque carousel horse captures a moment of dynamic motion with its galloping posture and lifted forelegs. Sculpted in wood and mounted on a central metal pole with a tripod wooden base, the figure retains traces of its original polychromy beneath layers of age-worn patina. The torso is partially adorned with gold leaf, now beautifully weathered, adding contrast to the natural wood tones and muted blues visible on the legs and head. Delicate glass cabochons, once vibrant, are embedded along the body as decorative accents, and the horse’s pronounced features—including its open mouth, upright ears, and expressive glass eyes—convey a lifelike intensity. The harness, also highlighted with gilt, frames the face with graphic simplicity. Close inspection reveals evidence of meticulous hand-carving throughout, from the sculpted mane to the anatomical contours of the limbs, all of which speak to the craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century German carousel production.
The piece exhibits visible signs of previous use, including scratches, gouges, cracks, and fissures, as detailed in the images of the listing.
