Tommy is a charming professionally restored antique Ayres rocking horse. At 30" high, it is ideal for the collector limited by space, though this restoration also means he is fully functioning and serviceable for use as a nursery rocking horse.
Frederick Henry Ayres was one of the leading late Victorian toy and rocking horse manufacturers. Probably second only to Lines in output, many would regard Ayres as more classic. F H Ayres was innovative with a string of interesting patents for rocking horse designs. The firm was based at 111 Aldersgate, London from 1864 until 1940, supplying most London department stores, such as Harrods as well as being widely exported. Ayres rocking horses are undoubtably the most collectable of antique rocking horses.
