Description
Our large rustic rocking horse is a wooden décor piece cut in the shape of a traditional toy horse mounted on curved rockers. Standing 37cm high and 25cm wide with a slim 6cm depth, it holds a proper presence on a shelf, mantel or sideboard without taking up much room from front to back. The beige finish keeps the grain of the wood on show, and the rustic surface carries the small marks and tonal shifts that give natural timber its character. It reads as a nostalgic, homespun ornament rather than a polished figurine.
This is one of those Christmas decorations that suits a country or farmhouse setting, though it works just as well through the rest of the year in a nursery, a hallway or a family room. Sit it beside pillar candles and a length of foliage on the mantel, group it with pinecones and dried stems in a winter vignette, or lean it against a stack of books on an open shelf. The pale beige tone sits happily alongside greenery, linen and other natural woods, so it slots into an existing range of festive pieces without clashing.
Being solid wood, it is sturdy and free-standing on its rockers, and it wipes clean with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid soaking the timber or leaving it in direct damp, and keep it out of harsh sunlight so the finish stays even. Between seasons, wrap it in tissue and store it flat in a dry box so the shape and surface are protected until you bring it out again.

Frequently Asked
What is it made from?
It is cut from solid wood with a rustic beige finish that leaves the natural grain visible, so each piece varies slightly in tone and marking.
Where does it look best?
On a mantel, shelf, sideboard or hallway console. Pair it with candles, foliage and other natural-wood Christmas decorations for a country-style display.
How big is it?
It measures 37cm high, 25cm wide and 6cm deep, large enough to stand out on a shelf while remaining slim from front to back.
Does it stand on its own?
Yes, the curved rockers give it a stable base so it stands unaided on a flat surface.
How do I clean it?
Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth and dry it off. Keep it away from damp and direct sunlight, and store it wrapped and flat between seasons.
