Carousel Style Horse

Carousel Style Horse SOLD Carousel "standing" horse statue $1000.00 + shipping
I have limited information and welcome further insights! Here we start off with the story as I was provided. Thought to be made from Teak wood by a fellow with the last initial of "D" of Danish or German decent around the turn of the century. Was purchase at auction about 25 years ago along with 2 other different horse types. Commissioned as a statue as it does not have the hole for a pole as would a regular carousel destined horse. Please note (my words): A seemingly sensible match to the information I was given, would be the carousel builder; Dentzel who migrated from Germany somewhere around the 1860-70's. BUT!, I've had several inquiries with returned comments that indicate little antique importance and of Asian origin?! It is a male statue that is currently mounted in a shipping crate. The photo's that I have are just prior to finishing its badly needed restoration. Some points to note in these pictures is that a few areas are slightly different upon completion than pictures indicate. The saddle is now all blue and the tassel ends along with the buckles are gold as it was felt that the purple was not quite right. The crate is approximately 5 feet tall, 4 foot long and 18" wide. Note that the tail is removable and vastly reduces the crate length required. The asking price is less than what it cost just to refinish it prior to its current home in a shipping crate. Ah, oh, well! Hope it finds a good home and place to stand proudly in its new coat of color.
Shipping arrangements on this item will need to be negotiated. The owner is willing to consider delivery up to about 1200 miles, but you must plan on having 2 people ready for help in removing from the back end of a truck upon arrival. In other words it takes 3 to 4 average people to lift the crate above waist high. Let's put the center of that radius at either Tahoe or Boise. Please contact me.
Caution Large Pictures Follow! Please imagine the strap buckles and tassel ends now colored gold. Also, the saddle is blue in place of the purple trim as shown here. These are the only pictures we could find. More current or finished ones, now, look like it would require uncrating. If other pictures are discovered I'll be sure to share them here also.
