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

Introduced in the late 19th century, safety stand rocking horses utilise an iron swing mechanism mounted within a fixed wooden frame, replacing traditional curved bow rockers to prevent tipping and conserve floor space.

Authentic 19th and early 20th-century rocking horses were typically hollow-carved from pine or lime wood, coated in gesso, painted with dapple detailing, and finished with real horsehair manes, glass eyes, and genuine leather saddlery.

Key identification features include hand-carved anatomical details, natural hair tackle, square-headed iron nails, craquelure on the painted gesso finish, and cast iron swing fittings on the glider stand.

These pieces function as striking sculptural accents when placed in entrance halls, living room alcoves, or traditional nurseries, bridging classic craftsmanship with contemporary design schemes.

Keep the horse in a stable environment away from direct heat sources and moisture, gently clean the painted surface with a soft dry cloth, and condition the original leather fittings periodically to prevent cracking.
