751-3 - Orton & Spooner - $2,500
An exceptionally detailed British carousel jumper. Stripped (on left side
only) to the natural wood with remnants of old paint and revealing the lavishly
carved high relief of the scalloped breastband, shoulder straps, chest medallion,
tassels, crupper, and double seat saddle resting on a double layered saddle
blanket. Note the right side has NOT been stripped. This elaborately decorated
horse presents an upraised head and a friendly face with glass eyes. Some
separation and delamination at seam. 66 long x 47 high. |
