Ayres Rocking Horses
Probably the most revered of English rocking horse makers, F. H. Ayres traces its roots back to London in 1810 when Edward Ayres started his business as a cabinet maker. These beautiful rocking horses were produced in great numbers over the years. Most of those which survive date from 1880-1940. They are lovely and surprisingly robust horses that can be repaired, renovated and restored to give many years of pleasure.
Our F. H. Ayres rocking horse restorers bring experience and know-how to the craft of renovating your old favourite and offer sensitive refurbishment of Ayres antique rocking horses throughout the UK.
Ayres Rocking Horse Identification
Many Ayres rocking horses have some distinctive features, such as:
- A distinctive ring near the top of the vertical pillars of the stand
- Finely carved heads with detailed ears and muzzles
- The fragile lower jaw is often broken and missing
- Well-proportioned bodies with fine and slender legs
There are also differences in the method of construction that can make Ayres rocking horse repairs tricky for less experienced restorers, so it is important to select a restorer who comes recommended for work on these particular horses.
