Believed to date to the late 1800's - early 1900's, the horse itself boast toned muscles and a very surreal facial expression. The carved mane leads down to a genuine leather saddle, while the braided horse hair tail finishes off the piece. The base of the rocking horse stands predominantly on turned columns, while the runners swing back and forth on a u-bolt style suspension system. The horse measures to 47 3/4" long, 23 3/4" wide, and 28" tall. Overall, the rocking horse is in fair condition. There are multiple splits and fractures in the wooden body, one of the dowel handles are also broken off.
