FAQs

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

Traditional pieces typically feature carved solid wood bodies mounted on bow rockers or safety stands, often utilizing gesso over carved wood and horsehair for manes.

Authentic pieces generally show natural wear patterns, hand-forged metal hardware, older layers of crackled paint or gesso, and traditional joinery methods.

Placing the horse as a standalone sculptural focal point in a living room, hallway, or nursery introduces historical texture and playful character.

Keep the object away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to prevent wood cracking, and clean gently with a dry microfibre cloth without harsh solvents.
