'Pearl' - Miniature dapple grey rocking horse

Pearl’  is a lovely miniature dappled rocking horse on a bow.

Pearl is a wonderful example of a miniature rocking horse. These small rocking horses are a great space saving idea so giving you a chance to have her simply on display, on a windowsill or mantelpiece, or to use her to mount your favourite doll or teddy bear.

She has a tan leather bridle and fixed saddle, beautiful flowing hair and glass eyes. We have polished all the leatherwork, then cleaned and conditioned her lovely real horsehair mane and tail, rubbed down and waxed the woodwork of her bow again until she looks in showroom condition.

Pearl is a truly lovely miniature horse and is fit and ready for her new home, but sadly you can`t ride her.

'Mila' - Superbly Restored FH Ayres 'D' Type

'Mila’ is a beautiful F H Ayres “D” Type rocking horse on her original safety stand.

‘Mila’ is a very rare and special F H Ayres ‘D’ type rocking horse on the original D type safety stand, and the stand has the stencil “Patented 29 Jan 1880”. She has a wonderful lifelike stance, with a very turned neck and head facing toward her right. She has a beautifully detailed face with glass eyes, and even has a carved tongue. Her whole body is extra carved with wonderful muscle detail and tone, showing off her muscular legs and neck – this model is such a delight for a horse lover to just admire.

The stand was in a poor state but is now restored but we have retained as much of the look and patina we can, with the fluted runners this model is known for and their additional widening of the wood in the centre of the runner. We have managed to rescue her original leatherwork, and after a lot of work it now looks suitable again for this very special piece. 

We have had to totally refinish Mila as she came to us in a poor state, however we have stayed true to the original look and dappling patterns. We have shown the photographs here we have of her whilst she is still at our lovely paintwork restorers, but now you have the chance to decide what colour and length of hair and tail we fit her with, so if you love a blond flowing mane and tail you can choose that, or a black and fiery look if you prefer – just let us know and we will do our very best to make Mila into your dream vision.

The ‘D’ type was the best quality horse made by F H Ayres and dates from around 1935. These are highly sought after and rarely come to market – a true collectors piece.

Mila is truly a special horse and a very desirable investment.

“Tiberius” is a beautiful F H Ayres “D” Type rocking horse on a safety stand, c1935.

“Tiberius” is a very rare and special F H Ayres ‘D’ type rocking horse on the original D type safety stand, c1935. He is a number 6 in size, standing an impressive 49″ tall and has a wonderful lifelike stance, with a very turned neck and head facing toward his left. He has a beautifully detailed face with glass eyes, and even has a carved tongue. His whole body is extra carved with wonderful muscle detail and tone, showing off his muscular legs and neck – this model is such a delight for a horse lover to just admire.

The stand was in a poor state but is now restored, with the fluted runners this model is known for and their additional widening feature in the centre of the runner. We have tried to keep the aged patina and the fixing holes remain at the front and rear. To make Tiberius truly special we have fitted two silver 1935 George V Crowns, known for their  ‘Rocking Horse Design’ made in .500 Silver (28.28g) as you can see in the photos, making him truly unique and worth even more!

We have had to totally refinish Tiberius as he came to us in a poor state, however we have stayed true to the original look and dappling patterns. He has then had to have a new mane and tail and finally a new set of top quality removable leather tack to finish his look. We have many photographs of him throughout and will of course provide them to his new owner.

The ‘D’ type was the best quality horse made by F H Ayres and dates from around 1935. These are highly sought after and rarely come to market – a true collectors piece.

'Orpheus' is a wonderful extra carved F H Ayres “C” Type rocking horse on a safety stand, c1934 – 1938.

“Orpheus” is a very rare and special F H Ayres ‘C’ type skin covered, extra carved rocking horse, c1934 – 1938. He has a beautifully detailed face with glass eyes, and even a carved tongue. He was part restored by Stevenson Bros in 1991, and has just had a freshen up with us too, but we have of course left his skin covering which whilst worn in places still shows his unique “C” Type finish.  

His stand has fluted runners and has been serviced and refinished so now rocks freely. Unfortunately his original saddle top and saddlecloth were just disintegrating due to age, but we have sympathetically restored both to keep him going and we have photographs which we will provide for his new owner. He still has his original saddle pommel which was fitted as an option to give young ladies the chance to learn to ride side-saddle.

Orpheus had been in the same Essex family since new, so is a real piece of history available to you now.

Made by F H Ayres and dating from around the mid 1930’s, these are highly sought after and rarely come to market – a true collectors piece. Orpheus is retired from riding now, but is still such a delight for a horse lover and collector to just admire.

Orpheus is a special horse and a very desirable investment – there are truly just a handful of this model left with their original skin covering remaining.

'Gunner & Rex' - Trevor Wiffen c1970-1980

Gunner and Rex are a wonderful Trevor Wiffen creation which like so many of his horses shows real character and playfulness. The wonderful hand carving of both the galloping horse and the dog running alongside are truly beautiful, and show the two animals are best of friends out for a run together, with the dog working hard to keep up as his tongue is out as he pants.

Deep in colour, the horse is a beautiful rich mahogany colour finish, whilst the dog is more like a medium oak. Both are in great condition as is the red bow stand, so you will have a stunning piece to display which will really get the viewers attention and is sure to capture the imagination of all who see it. 

Trevor Wiffen horses very rarely become available and are much sought after, so be quick if you like these two running friends, as they will soon have galloped away…..
