THE SMITHSONIAN COLLECTION- “Carousel Animals Christmas Ornaments- By the late nineteenth century, the mechanical carousel which was, at its best, an elaborate and fantastic work of swirling sculpture, was a common feature at fairs, carnivals, at amusement parks strategically placed at the end of the trolley lines. A few of the craftsmen who make carousel figures were trained sculptures- others were simply talented wood-carvers.” Made exclusively for Kurt S. Adler Inc, New York.
“The Persian Cat” is an adaptation of a carousel animal design found in color catalog, circa 1910: Herschell-Spillman Company, North Tonaranda, NY. From the collection of the National Museum of American History.
“The Persian Cat” ornament is exquisitely detailed on a gold & red striped pole. The saddle is green, trimmed in yellow & orange. Gold- colored trim is seen on both sides of the cat, who measures 5 ¾” from hind paw to front paw; ornament is 6 ½” long; weight 4 oz. In mint state condition with tag included.
