| In addition to making our range of new traditional wooden rocking horses, we also sympathetically restore those that are need of a little love and attention. Whether your rocking horse has been damaged, over used or poorly painted, it can quite literally be transformed by restoration. The aim of any restoration is to increase the strength of your rocking horse whilst retaining all of its original character and value. Of course, in some cases, restoring a rare or antique rocking horse may actually decrease its value to a collector - we are always happy to advise you. Below are examples of the restorations we have recently completed, the before and after pictures are an indication of just what can be done, whether its simply a case of re dappling a rocking horse to carving new features such as ears.

When this No 5 Ayres rocking horse came to us, not only had he been badly painted he had significant damage to his legs, ears and mouth. After the necessary repairs had been made he was traditionally re-gessoed and hand painted. Hand stitched tack made to the original Ayres pattern was applied along with a new flowing mane and tail. After a short spell with us he looked virtually identical to how he would have done the day he was bought. |

This G & J Lines rocking horse came to us needing a little attention, he had also been badly painted and required some modification to his ears and nostrils to better match them to the original G & L Lines pattern. Again he was re-gessoed and dappled and given new hair and tack to the original G & L Lines design. He is now a fine example of G & J Lines Rocking Horse |

When this Collinsons Rocking Horse came to us he was in need some restoration. Although he was in very good condition, with the original tack and hair still attached, he was looking tired and worn. We began by gently sanding him and strengthening his legs, once stable he was primed and then dappled by hand with the distinctive all over dappling seen on Collinsons horses. New hair and original pattern tack was applied and he was mounted back on his stand ready to take on the world again! |
