FAQs

Rocking horses evolved from medieval tilt-training devices into childrens toys during the 17th century, gaining widespread popularity in Victorian nurseries as finely carved and painted household objects.

Traditional construction typically involved carved timber bodies mounted on wooden safety stands or bow rockers, featuring leather tack, horsehair manes and tails, and hand-painted dapple finishes.

Authentic pieces generally exhibit period-appropriate joinery, hand-forged metal brackets, genuine horsehair rather than synthetic fibres, and natural ageing of the painted surfaces and leather components.

Interior designers often place these sculptural items in large living spaces, nurseries, or entryways to serve as a focal point, pairing them with neutral furnishings to highlight their craftsmanship and historical character.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to protect the wood, painted finish, leather tack, and natural hair from degrading.
