Summary
A painted rocking horse on stained deal base. Information supplied by a visitor - this is a Leach horse, in very good original condition. It is rare for Leach to mark his work with a makers plaque, which is why we have no identification on the horse itself - there is only one known with a makers plaque, in Bethnal Green, but his style of working is well-recognised. The visitor has written her own website about rocking horses where more information can be found: www.oldrockinghorses.co.uk. This information has not been varified by another source.
Provenance
Stamford collection; devised to the National Trust by Roger Grey, 10th Earl of Stamford (1896-1976).
