Hand Carved Carousel Horses (& More) on Consignment
$4,200: Gustav Dentzel loved giraffes and included at least one row of them on most of his carousels. The giraffe went through several changes over the years. The early turn-of-the-century version had a raised head and blank expression. Later figures had a curved neck, dropped head and a more alert expression. The trappings of the giraffes, as with most menagerie figures, were usually simple, Circa 1900-1910.
I (Craig Swanson) carved this giraffe in a wood from Indonesia called Jelutong. I was very pleased with the gentle look to the face. I learned a lot about giraffes by reading and trips to the zoo. The eyes are glass and the jewels are from Europe. Contact Craig Swanson 816-833-3573
