A Rocking Horse is an heirloom of timeless beauty, for centuries they have held a dominant place, both in the nursery and the minds of children and adults alike. Their prominence grew particularly during the Victorian and Edwardian era, holding pride of place with families of the rich and famous.
The horses are made from a variety of hardwoods, both British and foreign and are handfinished and polished to enhance the beauty of the wood.
