The Illions Supreme Carousel: A Rare Masterpiece
S1 E4:
A tale of two carousels. Early in the 20th century Charles Looff and Marcus Illions were creating magnificent carousels. The Illions Supreme is considered the most beautiful and valuable carousel ever built, and we follow its discovery and beginning restoration in Los Angeles, as well as the final restoration and installation of the Looff Playland carousel in San Francisco.
