Questions and answers
- Which is better for a child's room?
- The Fleur de Lis Living statue, because it is a decorative piece rather than a 48-inch carousel horse. The Carousel Works horse is a display or carousel figure, not a toy.
- Is the Carousel Works horse rideable?
- It is a carousel figure with a brass pole and a tucked head stander mount, so it is built for carousel or display use. Check the base and pole fittings before letting anyone sit on it.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Carousel Works horse has a documented 1991 build, carved wood, glass eyes and a horse hair tail, so it is the more substantial piece. The Fleur de Lis Living statue is wood but has no stated year or size.
- Is the Carousel Works horse worth the extra?
- Only if you want a full-size carousel figure with a known maker and year. If you want a small decoration, the Fleur de Lis Living statue does that job for less space.
- How big is the Fleur de Lis Living pony?
- Its size is not stated in the listing. Ask the seller for height and length before you buy, since the Carousel Works horse is 48 inches tall and long.
