Depression Era Metal Carousel Horse
€1.295,00 €395,00
Depression Era Metal Carousel Horse.
sculptural, heavily muscled, looks more the plough horse than a foal: draft, clydesdale, friesian or shire?
made of stamped pressed steel panels, welded round all the edges;
galloping, jumper, mid-leap;
original paint, white/cream with some red and blue remnants; no indications of ever having been painted over; lots of rust and patina;
red rubber saddle deteriorating, underneath it we found some of the original leather harness, the rest and the muzzle had been replaced in the 50s/60s with red plastic;
underneath 4 very rusty mounting screws, there would have been a belly plate, there is no pole hole;
the lack of ears, mane and blanked out eyes give our horse a bit of a demonic expression;
stout and sturdy fairground, merry-go-round horse;
