It was listed by Curious Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Curious Antiques has dated this piece to the 1940s.
They are beautifully composed, carved and painted in typical fairground colours, and have areas of metal embellishment and leather saddles. We would describe both as being in good original condition commensurate with age and use.
There are areas of age-related wear and areas of loss to the paintwork/wood - but all minor and in keeping with expected use. The leather seats have aged nicely through wear, and there are small areas where there are woodworm holes - long dormant, but treated anyway.
Overall the horses are exactly as you would expect from genuine examples of this age. Please refer to the detailed photographs and feel free to contact us with any questions or if you would like to view the items.
Size: Each approx. 98 cm tall x 110 cm long x 25cm wide. We will happily ship worldwide, but these are large and heavy pieces so please contact us for a bespoke shipping quotation for your country.
