Isla is a delightful small Collinsons rocking horse dating to circa 1960-70. He has had a full restoration, including re-gessoeing, repainting, new mane and tail, new tack and his stand has been renovated. All in all he is as good as new and ready for another 50-60 years service.
Collinsons of Liverpool were an old family of rocking horse makers from the 1830s until 1992, spanning no less than five generations. They are particularly noted for their post war production when most of their competitors either ceased trading or stopped making rocking horses. The design is fairly distinctive, with crested heads, rectangular pillars and corduroy saddles as noteworthy indicators for this marque.
