Antique Wooden Camel, Carousel Figure, 1900/1910

Superb carousel figure: Original polychrome wooden camel. Rare antique model circa 1900/1910 in beautiful condition with its original polychromy (some minor repainting and repairs consistent with age).

The wooden figure is fixed to its two original iron bars and has an original iron handle. The eyes are made of sulfide glass and are also original. A rare model attributed to the work of Bernard van Guyse (Belgium) or Charles Loof (Coney Island, USA). A virtually identical model is part of the famous collection of the Musée des Arts Forains in Paris. Total height: 78 cm; Total length: 104 cm; Total width: 25 cm. This is in no way a copy.
