About Carousel Horses:

 The carousel originated in Europe, but reached its greatest fame in America in the 1900's. The first carousels featured gondolas, carts, menagerie animals, and horses. The French developed many variations of the carousel. In one variation, the riders tried to spear gold rings with lances while the carousel rotated at full speed. This undoubtedly led to the phrase, "catching the brass ring" on later carousels.

In the mid 16th century, grand tournaments were held in France. Saddle makers, tailors, jewelers, and wig makers created extravagant costumes for both horse and rider for these occasions. Inspiration for later carousel carvers apparently originated from these events.

During the late 1800's, many skilled European carvers immigrated to the United States to produce carousels. The carvings of these immigrants were a great improvement over the first efforts of unskilled carvers. Usually the side of the carousel horse facing the audience, the "Romance" side, was adorned with carved decorations, while the inner side received little attention.

The golden age of carousels only lasted 25 years, but still brings back wonderful childhood memories today.

The Brass Ring Collection
TREASURE (Five Foot Brass Pole)The Treasure is a scaled down replica of a jumper carved in 1914 by Charles Carmel. Feathers, fringe, tassels, and jewels on the "romance" side make the Treasure one of the most ornate carousel horses in our line. Lilies, foliage, and trailing vines extending down the back leg and up the neck of the horse.
