780-8 - Armitage Herschell - Price
Reduced to $1200
The sweet simplicity of the early carousel figures, revealing their descent
from the children's rocking horse, is exemplified in this circa 1898 jumper
from the North Tonawanda carousel factory of Armitage Herschell. An upraised
head with alert smiling face, simply carved floaty mane, and understated
trappings including a checkered blanket, scalloped breastband and floating
saddle characterize this era of manufacture. An older restoration - the
horse white with grey mane harnessed with red, yellow and blue trappings
- glass eyes and a natural horsehair tail. 47 long x 41 high, 36 chest to
rump. |
