Carousel horses have pranced on the carousels of the world for hundreds of years and have given pleasure to countless people of all ages.

At the Carousel Museum of New England, in Bristol, Connecticut, we are honored to have many magical steeds entrusted into our care for restoration.

The stripping of the old paint, the restoration of the wood and the application of the numerous primer coats of paint is interrupted only by sanding and takes great skill and patience.

These steps are accomplished by Juan Andreu, Master Carver, formally trained in Spain.  Juan not only restores antique pieces but he creates spectacular new wooden carousel pieces and sculptures in all mediums.

The carousel animals are hand painted by our art department, managed by Judith Baker, restoration artist.  Great care is taken with every detail right down to the application of gold or aluminum leaf and the finishing touches including pinstriping.

The animals receive a protective over-coating.  The finish is flawless and truly enhances the timeless beauty of these fanciful carousel animals.

For quality craftsmanship for your treasured carousel pieces, call the New England Carousel Museum Restoration Department.
