Silverplated Metal Rocking Horse Money Box - Silver & Pink

This silverplated rocking horse money box is a keepsake for a new arrival, a bright silver pony standing on glossy pale pink rockers. The horse has a curled mane, a flowing tail and a neat bridle, with a soft pink saddle cloth set with a small pink jewel and another tiny sparkle at the bridle. Along the rockers runs a pink band decorated with silver scrolls and a little heart at the centre, and a pearly cream panel fills the space between the legs. It is made of metal with a silverplated finish and measures 12cm tall, 12cm across and 5.5cm deep, a size that sits comfortably on a nursery shelf.

We see it as a gift to mark the birth of a baby, or for new parents settling into those first weeks. It suits a little one up to three years old, as a keepsake for their room rather than a plaything, so it is best kept on a shelf, a dresser or a windowsill out of reach of small hands. A slot along the horse's back takes coins, so family and friends can start a little savings pot from the very beginning.

Its metal body has a bright silverplated finish, and the pink areas have a smooth, glossy look that catches the light alongside the polished silver. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull a plated surface; a light wipe with a barely damp cloth, dried straight away, lifts fingerprints. For gifting, add a card with the baby's name and date of birth, and it will sit happily beside a first photograph or a tiny pair of shoes in the nursery.
