Child Size Traditional English style Wood Rocking Horse
These are hand carved and hand painted rocking horses.
This is a beautiful rocking horse shaped in the style of the English rocking horses created before WWI. It will look lovely gracing a corner anywhere in your home, being large enough to show well and small enough to be compact in size. It is even just small enough to showcase on a side table.
This old, (not antique) and the joints have become loose, there is some wood cracking. They are sound to look at and display but not safe to sit on. I think the condition adds to the charm of hese old pieces.
Wheeled horses used to be part of the training for Knights dating back to Medieval times, and did not become a child's toy till the 18th century, ever gaining in popularity. Even the Queen of England, Queen Victoria, chose out a rocking horse of her own. This beautiful rocking horse that we are offering here is painted black with bright decorative touches. It is made of several pieces of carved solid hard wood that have been smoothly joined. This calm looking horse rests upon a traditional bow rocker painted green with yellow trim and stylized flowers. The tail is carved and the mane is created using paint. A saddle and blanket are carved onto the horse and decoratively painted. The rocking horse measures 24.5" across the bow and stands 24" tall from the bottom of the bow to the tips of the ears.
These are hand carved and hand painted rocking horses. All the horses are approximately the same size and colors, but may have different detailing from the photographed rocking horse: i.e. the hooves may be a different color from that pictured, there may be different amounts of tassels painted on, the decorative patterning on saddle and blanket may be different, exact tones of paint will vary. Each rocking horse is individual and unique. These are decorative items and not meant to be used by children. They are not safe to "ride".
They are heavy, shipping at 25 pounds
