‘JUPITER’ ANTIQUE G & J LINES OLD ROCKING HORSE c.1920s
Jupiter is a very old, antique full-size rocking horse by the highly regarded British maker G & J Lines. He is an impressive size and would be considered a mid-size rocking horse. He has a huge amount of age character and charm. With his very own unique personality, he is a very impressive beautiful horse. He is on his original wooden stand, with original ironwork, and brackets.
Many years ago he was overpainted though in places you can see his early original light blue dapple paintwork. Jupiter is very well carved, he has a superb face and a very life-like carved body. He is wonderful as he is, and could grace any home just ‘as is’ Or he could be if a buyer wished, be professionally restored. We can suggest restorers who do an amazing job. His overpainted paint now has mellowed and has worn to be part of him and suits him well. His age minor flaws only further add character to him.
He is such a very special horse, he will bring daily joy to his new owners in his new home. He measures to the top of his neck – 44″ (112cm). To saddle 35″ (90cm) approx. The stand measures: Length 52″ (132cm) Width 15 3/4″ (40cm) He is an heirloom antique rocking horse, to love and enjoy and to pass to future generations. Email for his full photo file. Price £795
