AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb lot of two fantastical carousel creatures, a unicorn and a hippocampus, from the prestigious collection « 24KT Golden Carousel », produced by The Franklin Mint under license from House of Fabergé.

These elegant pieces depict two mythological creatures in dynamic and graceful poses, finely sculpted and enhanced by a 24-karat gold finish as well as delicate polychrome enamel decorations.

Features :

24-karat gold finish

Polychrome decorations with geometric and ornamental motifs

First piece: a majestic rearing unicorn, with a long twisted horn, its mane and tail abundantly sculpted. Its body is adorned with an elegant saddle in pink and violet tones, complemented by blue geometric motifs and gold details.

Second piece: a magnificent mythological hippocampus, fantastical creature half horse, half fish, depicted in a leaping stance. It has a finely sculpted horse head, a body adorned with a rich turquoise and blue adornment with multicolored motifs, as well as a spectacular spiral-curved fish tail, delicately worked to evoke scales.

Central twisted rods recalling the old carousel poles

Oval black bases ensuring stable and elegant presentation

The contrast between the bright gilding, the vivid colors of the enameled decorations and the finesse of the sculpted details gives this set a particularly luminous and refined presence.

The pairing of the unicorn, symbol of purity and magic, and the hippocampus, legendary sea creature, makes a superb decorative duo inspired by the fantastical and fairytale world of antique carousels.
