\u2013\u00a0from a private collection<\/em><\/p>\n

This beautiful carousel features two Pacific Seahorses that move up and forwards then down and backwards when you wind the key. In their movement these seahorses glimmer and glisten with deep gold, green and blue because their bone plates have been painstakingly coated one by one with a mixture of peacock feather strands and resin. Their glorious manes of long peacock sword feathers flow upon the slightest breeze and their eyes of genuine pink garnets set in 14k gold sparkle in the light. Naturally multicolored peacock plumage feather tips decorate the carousel canopy. Two large antique glass marbles sit in the center of the carousel. The carousel is set upon an antique rococo brass base that lifts it at a perfect height to reach the music box key without having to move the delicate and intricate sculpture. The music box tune is Carousel Waltz. Measurement: 12\u2033 tall 9\u2033round.<\/p>\n
