Flaxen Chestnut Beauty

Fleur showcases the stunning flaxen chestnut coloring - one of the most eye-catching horse color combinations! The rich, reddish-brown chestnut body contrasts beautifully with the pale, creamy (flaxen) mane and tail, creating a striking two-tone effect. This color is particularly prized in carousel horses, where the contrast between body and mane creates visual drama. The flaxen gene lightens only the mane and tail, leaving the body its rich chestnut shade - nature's perfect color coordination!

Laura Rock-Smith's Carousel Artistry

This ornament was designed by Laura Rock-Smith, a celebrated carousel artist known for her authentic interpretations of classic carousel horse designs! Rock-Smith's expertise in carousel art history and her understanding of the decorative elements that made vintage carousel horses so captivating shine through in Fleur's design. The delicate floral details honor the botanical motifs favored by master carousel carvers of the golden age!

Delicate Floral Details

Fleur (French for "flower") is beautifully decorated with delicate floral details that evoke the botanical motifs found on vintage carousel horses! Master carousel carvers often incorporated flowers, vines, and natural elements into their designs, creating horses that were works of art. Laura Rock-Smith's floral decorations honor this tradition, adding elegance and beauty to Fleur's design!

Carousel Horse Heritage

Carousel horses have been enchanting riders since the late 1800s, when skilled artisans hand-carved elaborate wooden horses for amusement park carousels. These "galloping horses" featured ornate tack, flowing manes, and decorative details that showcased incredible craftsmanship. The golden age of carousels (1880s-1920s) produced some of the most beautiful carousel horses ever created, and Breyer's Carousel Ornament series honors this artistic tradition!

Quarter-Century of Carousel Magic

The 2024 Fleur ornament represents 25 years of Breyer's commitment to celebrating carousel artistry! From the debut in 2000 to this milestone 25th edition, the series has featured countless color combinations, decorative themes, and artistic interpretations. Collectors who have followed the series since the beginning now have a quarter-century of beautiful ornaments documenting Breyer's carousel heritage!

Investment-Grade Milestone Collectible

As the 25th anniversary edition, Fleur holds special significance for collectors! Milestone editions (10th, 25th, 50th anniversaries) often become highly sought-after, and this quarter-century celebration is particularly meaningful. Breyer's Carousel Ornament series has demonstrated strong secondary market performance, with early editions commanding premium prices. The 2024 Fleur combines milestone status with beautiful design!

Classic Carousel Pose

Fleur is captured in a classic carousel pose that honors the traditional stance of carousel horses. The pose creates the illusion of movement and has been beloved by carousel enthusiasts for over a century. This timeless stance connects Fleur to the rich history of carousel artistry and the master carvers who created these magical horses!

Display and Collecting

Perfect for Christmas tree display, this ornament also shines on an ornament stand where Laura Rock-Smith's floral details can be fully appreciated, in curio cabinets alongside other Carousel Ornaments, or as part of vintage carousel-themed displays. The 3"L x 2.5"H size makes it a substantial, beautiful piece that captures attention!
