CLASSIC ROCKING HORSES

Restoration Gallery

By the time old rocking horses reach our workshops, they have suffered the ravages of many years of hard pounding and are ready for total rehabilitation. Old leather has perished, gesso, paint and varnish have failed. Joints have given up under the strain, and exremities such as ears, jaws and glass eyes have gone missing. The result of total refurbishment is a beautiful rocking horse with renewed vitality and enhanced value but retaining its original character and mellowed appearance, ready for its delighted owner. 

Here are just a few examples of rocking horses restored by us. Click on a picture for a view of the rocking horse before restoration.

We shall be happy to quote for restoration of your rocking horse, but regret that we undertake only full restoration as illustrated, and are not able to supply rocking horse parts or accessories separately.
