Welcome to the wonderful world of antique rocking horses, I stock mostly antiques, with some contemporary horses. Where stated as antique, that is what my rocking horses are, not replicas or in the style of, but the genuine article. Antique rocking horses can be worthwhile investments, with the pleasure of owning something that is unique and distinctive in its own right. Most of our antique rocking horses are still perfectly serviceable for their intended function. At Sally's Rocking Horses, I can offer the largest selection anywhere, with expert advice on what is an antique, confirming the identification with a Certificate of Authenticity. I hope any rocking horse you buy becomes a much loved member of your family, an investment that will pass down the generations, the gain in value more than just the monetary one. The leading Victorian/Edwardian rocking horses makers were the firms of F H Ayres and the Lines family, and a few other smaller companies. These warrant their own stables as listed opposite. A long established firm was that of the Collinsons family, trading over 5 generations between 1836 and 1995, though it is their post-war output that is relatively prolific today. Classical bow rockers, the norm before 1880, warrant their own stable, whilst many interesting early rocking horses from smaller makers I have grouped in my Miscellanea Stable.
