read about it ... there are too many stories of "old" horses ..that in fact all are made in Asia during the 80s for there was a huge market for horses .. all of them are worth E100 to E250 max .. so you can really buy decorative nice stuff ... but a real brand carrousel horse will cost at least E2500- E20.000..
We, as carousel restorers would have definitely removed the metal. I am sure they did more on repairs than they showed in the video. They were looking to resell it fast, not a full job.
@@juliekfournier Agreed..Natural wear simply is so different, no sandpaper can imitate it, it is a particular ''look'', very polished, that occurs naturally, with grease build up from hands on the crest of the neck {on rocking horses at least}
Charles Jensen. Hi Charles seen your comments around Castigating people's comments and be Nice! Well Sir - Your a Hypocrite! Lassie is a Dog, Rough Collie.
I restore carousel animals. I have never used a blade like that. The one's I restore are in use, at The Henry Ford Museum at Greenfield Village. I age them, with paint. They're ridden and handled by a quarter million kids a year. Check out my work on them at the museum, or on my website, juliefournier.com
Great video BUT I felt it was way way way too yellow. Dapple gray and yellow???? Old dappled gray should be aged with green. And it hurt to see a blade scraping the original wood-that's what we have finest sand paper for. I thought the paint job ruined the horse.
I once saw a carousel horse on Mission Drive. That was back then on February 6th, 1983. How about that! Something I found right in my own backyard! What it used to be. ✅️ ↔️ 👉 🔛 ➡️ 🤜 ✅️ 🎠 😳
I wish they didn't scrape off the paint. Like i get the old look. But why wouldn't you want it to have life??? Make it look like its new but from the time. :\
Bodged.....look at the metal nailed on bits of tin still in place, painted over. MUCH better to send a horse to a dedicated rocking horse/carousel restorer . Paint job is ok, but put over a hastily done repair to the body..
I agree. While she did an amazing job with the paint, making it look old, that's almost a form of fraud in a way if this horse is ever sold with the mistaken notion that it's in factory paint. That could affect its value tremendously. And the metal patches should be removed as they can induce wood rot.
It paint job could indeed fool a novice buyer of these items, but an experienced buyer would know what to look for..the poor repairs to wood were quite shocking, PVA glue won't cure gaps in the leg joints.. They must have put filler in them afterwards, as one saw no wood set in to fill those gaps. Genuine wear to painted wood horses is totally unlike chipping at it with a blade, or using sandpaper. The horse should have been repaired properly and then painted.
Bodged? Its done to a budget, otherwise theres no profit to be made, no one said they were trying to sell it as untouched original and if a collector wants to restore it perfectly after buying it, then they can spend a fortune restoring it to an inch of its life. You realise most things on this show are for decoration and home finishing not for collectors as such?
I loathe over restoration, but these bits of nailed on tin ''are'' a bodge.. They really ought to be removed. they damage the timber further.PVA glue is a no no as well..animal glues that can be reversed is much better. Just collected a horse today that will have nothing done to it at all, just a very gentle dust off..The naturally worn genuine paint is treasured.
Does anyone know what kind of gems they use on the horses (with bling)? Are they real crystal? I'm having a hard time finding crystal or even glass gems of a large enough size. I might have to use acrylic.
My boyfriend and i are obsessed with carousel horses!!! I love this!!!

A Friedrich Heyn horse! And what a brilliant restoration! Hats off.
Perfectly repaired and geniously painted.
Alex and Jill are artistes in their own right.....Thank you for the wonderful video.
..nice to see real artists at work, outstanding results...
Paintwork was good, but woodwork not so..
she done a really good job.
Incredible. Amazing !!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
That's great work lady! Ask for a raise
WOW CHE BRAVA !! È MOLTO BELLO 😘👍
Thanks for an Informative Video.
Haphazardly scraping through to the wood is damaging the piece, not just distressing the paint
So clever
Magnificent 👍💕
Does anyone know what it sold for?
We, as carousel restorers would have definitely removed the metal. I am sure they did more on repairs than they showed in the video. They were looking to resell it fast, not a full job.
I restore them at The Henry Ford Museum on their Hershell Spillman carousel.
I've never used a blade like that, it was painful to watch!

You're a very skilfull refinisher, Lassie. CMJ

✔️
this horse is worth 5K .. not much more .. its a smal Heyn .. not a big expressive one like the one for sale in the us ...
I wish they didn't scrape off the paint. Like i get the old look. But why wouldn't you want it to have life??? Make it look like its new but from the time. :\
Poor lady looks like she needs a holiday and restoration.
that's just being focussed ... I guess ... I know people like that .. no worries ..
