‘PEGASUS’ LARGE ANTIQUE F H AYRES ROCKING HORSE c.1920-30Pegasus is a rare larger size F H Ayres rocking horse from c.1920s-30s. He is an impressive horse with the most beautiful head. He has a removable bridle and a fixed saddle. Some time ago he was renovated and painted his pretty dapple grey colour this suits him. His bridle is old and is good for age, his saddle is very good with a few scuffs marks on the leather seat. Some age crazing to the gesso plaster work, this is cosmetic and not structural. He is lucky to still have his Ayres original wooden stand and ironwork including brackets. Ayres horses are known as the ‘Rolls Royce of Rocking Horses’ and are famous worldwide. Some historical signs of old minor woodworm to the base, this has been treated as a precaution. A very finely carved, beautiful horse seldom found in this larger size.
Measurements: Height 50.5” (128cm) To saddle from floor 39” (99cm)
Stand Length 60.5” (164cm) Width 19” (48cm) * SOLD
‘MINSTREL’ BEAUTIFUL OLD DAPPLE-GREY ROCKING HORSE
Minstrel is a very gentle-faced, older antique rocking horse by the famous British maker ‘Collinson of Liverpool’ She is a medium size rocking horse so will suit a modern or older home as she is not too large. Some time ago she was professionally renovated with a leather bridle and saddle, a new mane and tail, and painted her pretty dapple grey colour. Some age to her c.1950s possibly earlier a wonderful horse to have gracing your home. She measures : Her height from the floor to the top of her neck is 40″ (102cm) The Stand is 48″ long (122cm) by 14″ (40cm)
Being such an old horse there are some minor cosmetic signs of wear to her paintwork and stand. Her leather tack is very old, so good for display rather than riding. All of which is part of her unique character and charm. SOLD
All of our rocking horses are classed as antiques for adult collectors. They are not children’s toys as they were made before toy safety regulations for children.
