Our senior maker celebrated twenty-five years of craftsmanship with a small range of extraordinarily detailed rocking horses, which eclipses even the finest extra-carved antique rocking horses of yesteryear. This exclusive range of silver jubilee rocking horses is available in very limited numbers. We believe them to be the most detailed ever carved. Horse sculpture in wood is also a speciality. |
