Questions About Handmade Rocking Horse
  • What is the purpose of a rocking horse?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Rocking horses have long been favorite toys for children all over. These fun toys also help with balance and mobility, while encouraging exercise.

  • What is a Victorian rocking horse?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    A Victorian rocking horse is a child’s toy produced during the Victorian era, which refers to the years of the reign of Queen Victoria of England, 1837 to 1901. Prior to the industrialization that took shape during the 19th century, which allowed these structures to be mass-produced, rocking horses were hand-carved in wood and hand-painted to resemble a horse. Two rockers, mirroring those of modern rocking chairs, are attached to the horse’s legs, and when a child sits on the seat, the horse gently rocks back and forth. On 1stDibs, find a collection of antique rocking horses.
  • How can you tell a Collinson rocking horse?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    To tell if a rocking horse is a Collinson, look at the pillar on its safety stand. Authentic pieces will usually have square pillars with wooden diamonds on top. The iron swings that allow the horse to rock were often red on genuine Collinson designs. However, an antique rocking horse may have been repainted, so the color you see might not be the original. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can assist you with identifying rocking horses. Shop a range of rocking horses on 1stDibs.
  • How can you tell if a rocking horse is an antique?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    To tell if a rocking horse is antique, first look for a label or mark that indicates the manufacturer’s name. Some makers of antique rocking horses include F.H. 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. Shop a variety of rocking horses on 1stDibs.
  • What were Victorian rocking horses made of?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Traditionally, Victorian rocking horses are made of solid wood. Designed to withstand wear and tear over time, Victorian rocking horses are often crafted with a high-quality wood, such as solid oak. Browse a selection of vintage Victorian rocking horses on 1stDibs.
  • What year was the rocking horse invented?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
