FAQs

Rocking horses evolved from medieval tilt-training devices into popular childrens toys by the 17th century, becoming a nursery staple in British homes during the Victorian era.

Traditional pieces typically feature carved solid wood bodies mounted on wooden frames or rockers, often finished with gesso, hand-painted dapple grey coats, horsehair manes, and leather tack.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the construction joints, hand-carved tool marks, type of nails or screws, natural wear to the paint and gesso, and the material of the mane and tail.

These pieces function as striking focal points in a traditional nursery, living room, or hallway, adding a sense of heritage and texture to the space.

Preservation requires keeping the item out of direct sunlight and away from humidity fluctuations to prevent wood splitting and paint flaking, dusting gently with a dry cloth.
