Overall height, 187cm high, 200cm long, 35cm wide

attributed to the town of Lyon or Pau, on later custom made metal stand.

This magnificent carousel horse is a rare example of its kind, being for two riders carved with a twin saddle and designed to be mounted on a pole, not move up and down the carousel pole as later designs enabled.

The mane is carved, and the tail original horse-hair.

It would look superb in a large room as a star decorative piece.
