Vintage Hand Carved Carousel Style Wooden Horse - Over 3ft Tall!

Amazingly well crafted vintage (or antique, I’m not 100% sure) wooden horse statuette. Superb details throughout. Stands quite tall at over 40 inches and made of solid wood so it is quite heavy. See regular size drink can on saddle for an idea of scale. Great decor piece and conversation starter. Made in the style of the miniature carousel horses of old this was meant to be a stand-alone piece of art and does not have a hole for the requisite pole. I have a feeling that the paint was added much more recently than it was crafted, though I’m not sure. While it is quite sturdy and could hold a kid’s weight on its own I would not recommend that children ride it or play with it as it could hurt them if it fell over and it was not designed for that. There is a small missing piece near the rear as pictured, a chip at the end of the tail, and some age appropriate cracks in the wood as you can see. The tail comes off, but could be more permanently attached if you wish. The rope handle shown would come with it, but is not original to the item. If you have any questions please let me know. :) Reasonable offers will be considered.
