Bespoke Rocking Horse Restoration Specialists

Every rocking horse tells a different story, which is why every restoration is completely bespoke.
 

We carefully assess each piece individually and determine the most appropriate restoration approach—whether it requires:

• Structural repairs

• Surface restoration and refinishing

• Replacement of damaged components

• Full sympathetic restoration

 

Our priority is always to preserve originality wherever possible, ensuring the character and authenticity of your horse remains intact.

 

When new parts are required, they are individually handcrafted to match the original design, materials, and proportions exactly.

​

Traditional Craftsmanship, Authentic Methods

We do not use mass-production techniques or shortcuts.

All restoration work is carried out using traditional woodworking and finishing methods that respect the original construction of the piece. This ensures the restored rocking horse remains true to its heritage and long-term value.

Our approach combines:

• Heritage craftsmanship techniques

• Skilled hand-finishing

• Material-matched repairs

• Detail-accurate replication work

This level of care is what allows restored pieces to remain both beautiful and structurally sound for future generations.

 

From Light Repair to Full Rocking Horse Restoration

Whether your rocking horse needs minor attention or complete restoration, we can help.

We regularly restore pieces that have:

• Cracked or broken wooden components

• Worn paintwork or faded finishes

• Loose joints or structural instability

• Missing or damaged features

• Age-related deterioration

No matter the condition, our goal is always the same: to restore dignity, strength, and beauty while preserving the soul of the original piece.

 

Exact Replica Parts When Required

In cases where original components are beyond repair, we create precise handcrafted replicas.

Each replacement part is:

• Individually shaped and carved by hand

• Matched to the original grain and form

• Finished using traditional techniques

• Seamlessly integrated into the existing structure

This ensures the restored rocking horse remains visually and structurally consistent, with no compromise on authenticity.
