Restorations

At Carousels and Carvings, we restore antique carousels to look and function like new machines. With each restoration, the condition of the carousel is taken into careful consideration to determine the alterations, fabrications, and updates that will be done to each part. This allows us to ensure the carousel’s safety and integrity. In addition, we work closely with our clients to ensure we meet their needs as well as the client’s jurisdictional ride regulations. As NAARSO and ASTM members, we also ensure every ride complies with current ride safety standards.

Our uniqueness comes from our vision of the restoration process. Our team works meticulously to ensure the carousel looks as closely to its original state as possible, while still ensuring they run according to modern standards. A carousel’s figures and facades can be recarved and blended when needed to address damage and wear over time. Our goal is to maintain as much of the original surface as possible. Over-restoration harms the carousel and its unique history. 

We also provide fabrication services to replace any worn or damaged part of any antique or contemporary carousel.

Many of the carousels we restore have run for nearly a century, and we strive to continue their legacy for another century.
