Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Safety stand rocking horses were introduced in the late 19th century as an alternative to bow rockers, utilising a stationary wooden frame with iron swing irons to provide a smooth gliding motion while preventing the horse from tipping or damaging flooring.

Traditional rocking horses were carved from timber sections such as pine or lime wood, finished with plaster gesso and hand-painted dapple grey pattern, fitted with real leather tack, glass eyes, and natural horsehair for the mane and tail.

Authentic pieces feature hand-carved anatomical details, clear gesso construction lines under the paint finish, cast metal brackets on the safety stand, original leather saddlery with brass studs, and natural wear patterns around the handgrips and footrests.

Antique rocking horses are frequently positioned as standalone focal features in hallways, bay windows, or quiet room corners to add historical character, sculpture, and texture to both traditional and eclectic modern interiors.

To preserve the piece, display it away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent wood cracking, dust the carved body and horsehair gently with a soft brush, and nourish original leather components with specialised leather wax.
