A German carved and later stripped Dobby galloper Attributed to Friedrich Heyn, circa 1900 The horse facing forward, with glass eyes and mirrored glass-mounted breastplate, 98cm wide, 20cm deep, 72cm high (38 1/2in wide, 7 1/2in deep, 28in high) Footnotes: With conforming decoration to the harness of lot 155. Friedrich Heyn is considered to be one of the first major carousel figure manufacturers after he established his carving factory in Neustadt an der Orla in 1870. Close to Dresden and the forests of Bohemia, he was well placed to take advantage of the rapidly expanding fairground industry both in Germany and further afield. At his height, he was exporting across Europe and also into America. Before WWI he was primarily known for his finely carved 'Dresden' horses which, according to his catalogue, could be adapted to the requirements (and pockets) of the showmen to be more or less grand in both scale or decoration. His menagerie also included six species of bird and twenty-three species of animal.
