Questions About German Carousel Horse
  • How can I tell if a carousel horse is antique?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell if a carousel horse is an antique, consider the construction. True antiques are normally hollow wood and have one-piece designs. Solid wood horses and those that have detachable ears and tails are likely to be reproductions. You'll find a variety of expertly vetted antique carousel horses 1stDibs.
  • How can I tell if a carousel horse is real?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Some telltale signs indicate if a carousel horse is a genuine antique. Most antiques are hollow, and all the body parts are permanently attached. Many modern carousel horses have detachable ears or tails. Because people looking at the carousel would only see the side facing out, most companies didn't pay to have both sides of the horse detailed — therefore, an authentic antique horse will likely only have carving and jewels on one side. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of expertly-vetted carousel horses from some of the world’s top sellers.
  • What kind of wood are carousel horses made of?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    New carousel horses are made out of tropical wood, like Phillipine mahogany. Older antique carousel figures were carved out of basswood, pine and poplar. You’ll find a variety of carousel-inspired artwork from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
