Large Folk Art Wooden Merry-Go-Round Model
Located in Antwerp, BE
Awesome large Folk Art wooden merry-go-round model.
This large scale model of a Carousel or Roundabout has been handmade.
Great example of Carnival Art - Folk Art with miniature handmade wooden sculptures of horses, jeep cars and sleigh. All very detailed.
The roof of the entertainment ride is made of patent leather and the bottom roof in draped fabric.
This antique toy - Antique fun fair scale model
has a handle to turn the carousel around.
At this point the handle is stuck due age. As we don't want to damage the aged patina, we didn't make it loose. The new owner can decide if he wants to undo it by removing the old rust in between. If we would do that in front, there is no way back. The carousel can be turned around by hand without using the handle.
