Vintage Tin Rocking Horse
This vintage tin rocking horse is offered as a nursery or collector’s piece with a classic rocking base. The horse is shaped with a raised head, arched neck and sturdy legs, and it sits on a long, curved metal rocker frame with cross-supports. A painted saddle in red and teal is fixed across the back, and a small grey grip is set into the neck, presumably for holding. The horse is finished in brown tones with a mottled, speckled surface, and the head carries a painted bridle detail and a small attached tag.
Condition and Originality
The horse shows clear signs of age and use, with surface rust to the metal rocker frame, areas of paint loss and wear across the body, and spotting to the surface. The painted saddle retains its colour in places, although it has faded and worn. As an older piece with its original form and finish, it may appeal to collectors of vintage nursery furniture and childhood toys, or to buyers seeking a characterful decorative piece with a clear history of use.
