Stevenson Brotherss' F.H. Ayres Rocking Horse

This F.H. Ayres design rocking horse by the Stevenson Brothers of Bethersden, England is made with the permission of the legendary F.H. Ayres, purveyor of the finest rocking horses during the Victorian era and prized by children of all ages and British royalty alike. The horse, made from durable North American Tulip wood with a slightly longer body than the traditional Stevenson Brothers rocking 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 traditional dapple gray horse is hand-painted with the finest attention to detail and is tacked in London tanned English cowhide leather, complete with a red suede saddle blanket. Mounted on a Victorian safety stand, designed in 1878 by PJ Marqua of Cincinnati, Ohio, the horse comes complete with a real horse hair mane and tail and hallmarked brass plaque bearing the makers name, date and unique number. ...Read more
