A Genuine Collectors Item! |
This gorgeous Chestnut rocking horse by The Stevenson Brothers from Bethersden, England is based on a 1910 design originally manufactured by the legendary F.H. Ayres.
Ayres is the purveyor of the finest rocking horses created during the Victorian era, and whose designs are prized by children of all ages and British royalty alike!
Measures: 56" L x 18" W x 48" H

Made from Chestnut wood, the horse is hand carved to show musculature and constructed using the traditional Victorian method of mortise and tenon, ensuring a sturdier connection between joints than the common dowel and peg style that weakens after years of riding.
The horse is fitted with tanned English cowhide leather tack, red leather saddle top and royal red saddle blanket.
When this Chestnut rocking horse's natural finish is polished, its takes on a beautiful reddish brown hue. And, when rocked in the light, the grain tends to change color. |
| Mounted on a Coach Spring suspension system that provides a subtle bounce and extends the rider's 'stride' to more closely resemble that of a real horses' gait, the horse comes complete with a real horse hair mane and tail and hallmarked brass plaque bearing the makers name, date and unique number. |
