F. H. Ayres produced some of the finest rocking horses available in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Based at 111 Aldersgate Street, London between 1864 and 1940, the firm produced bow rocking horses, swing stands and also small quantities of some of the rare highly sought after antique horses such as the swivel head, and spring stand.

Lines, as G&J Lines and J&G Lines and eventually Lines Bros/Triang was England's largest toymaker. Exceptional quality rocking horses very much on a par with Ayres.

We have a new and exciting  selection of rocking horses in this stable!

Unfortunately, owing to high demand, stock is going fast. We do have a limited number of replacements, still needing some restoration, email for further details.
