Mid-Century Modern Wooden Rocking Elephant

About the Item

This stylized elephant is an original variation to the classical rocking horse. It would be great fun for children to ride on its back (as you can see by its tail that has suffered slightly from this fun in the past). It will also be great fun for their bystanders to watch this wonderful example of Dutch design from the 1980s. The elephant is made of pine wood that has been treated with a colorless lacquer. A cheerful toy slash design object.

The Rietveld wheelbarrow...
