  • How can you tell if a rocking horse is an antique?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023

Ayers, Collinsons & Sons, G & J Lines, Crossley Brothers and Stevenson Brothers. If you're unable to find a maker's mark, you may wish to enlist the help of a certified appraiser or antiques dealer who is knowledgeable about rocking horses.

  • How can I tell if a carousel horse is antique?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell if a carousel horse is an antique, consider the construction. True antiques are normally hollow wood and have one-piece designs. Solid wood horses and those that have detachable ears and tails are likely to be reproductions. You'll find a variety of expertly vetted antique carousel horses 1stDibs.
