Wooden Victorian Era Rocking Horse

Younger sons born into nobility or the gentry were often sent to serve at the Royal Court as pages of honor. Part of their education was learning tournament jousting. The master-at-arms used wooden horses mounted on swings to teach skills with sword and lance.

This wooden horse popularized as a decorative home furnishing during the Victorian era, evolved into the classic rocking horse. No upper class children's playroom was without one.

Our Victorian Era Rocking Horse is a full-sized reproduction of originals dating back to the 19th century, hand carved in top quality mahogany. Hand made saddle and tack of real bridle leather. Hand finished in a warm and glowing French-style varnish, slightly distressed to make it look somewhat aged.
