Lenox Classic Carousel Horse Figurine

This is a fine bisque porcelain carousel horse figurine, characteristic of the Lenox 'Classic Carousel' collection. The horse is depicted in a dynamic prancing pose, mounted on a spiraled brass-toned metal pole which is fixed into a rectangular light-finished wood base. The horse features a white matte body with meticulously hand-painted details. It is adorned with cascading garlands of pink roses and green leaves, light blue draped swags, and a textured pale blue saddle with gold trim. The mane and tail are flowing and intricately carved, painted in a creamy off-white. The hooves are tipped in gold leaf. The craftsmanship indicates a high-quality decorative piece likely from the late 20th century (circa 1980s-1990s). The condition appears excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or fading of the pigments. The wood base shows a clean finish with a circular recessed area, possibly for a commemorative coin or maker's plaque. There is a small circular indentation on the top left of the base as well. This piece exemplifies the romantic Victorian-revival style popular in mid-to-late 20th-century collectibles.
