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

F.H. Ayres was a prominent English manufacturer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for producing high-quality rocking horses with realistic carving, distinctive dapple grey finishes, and sturdy safety stands.

Traditional rocking horses were carved from solid wood, painted with oil-based paints, and fitted with genuine horsehair manes and tails along with natural leather tack and steel or brass ironmongery.

Authentic 1930s pieces typically feature carved wooden bodies mounted on a glider safety frame rather than curved bow rockers, alongside authentic joint construction, glass eyes, and aged leather tack.

An antique rocking horse functions as a standalone sculptural feature in a hallway, nursery, or living space, pairing well with traditional woodwork or providing contrast in contemporary interiors.

Dust the item regularly with a soft, dry cloth, keep the wood and leather away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking, and apply specialized leather conditioner to the tack to preserve flexibility.
