F H Ayres - 52" Special Extra Carved "D" Quality

Geronimo is a beautifully carved, and sought after "D" Quality rocking horse, made by F H Ayres C1925.   Standing at 52" high, with a 30" body he is Size 7 and a very large horse.

These horses are coveted for their high level of carving and attention to detail.  Each example of these horses are slightly different and Geronimo has a very prominently turned head which we have tried to capture in the photos.

Geronimo has his original, heavy design type stand, original brackets and ironwork and replacement aged, tack.  He has had minor cosmetic restoration to his paintwork.

A lovely horse for the collector.    * * *    S O L D  * * *
