Antique Scandinavian Wooden Rocking Horse

About the Item

With her mouth open in excitement, with her eyes glowing with enthusiasm, with her sleek body depicted in motion — this vintage rocking pony hand-carved in Scandinavia circa 1900 radiates the bouncy spirit of childhood dreams. The weathered ashen patina brightens the surface with cheerful patchy patterns, punctuating smooth curves of the wooden musculature of her athletic legs attached to the stout rocking base. The iron ring of the horse bit brings a realistic detail to the presence of this whimsical creature.
