Antique G&J Lines ‘Sportiboy’ Rocking Horse c.1910 – Original Stand, Collectible

A charming and rare early 20th-century G & J Lines ‘Sportiboy’ rocking horse, dating to around 1910. These iconic models were made in London and sold through a variety of retailers from 1900 to 1930. This particular example still retains its original wooden stand – a rare and desirable feature.

The horse has been overpainted at some point in its life, and it’s possible the original finish remains underneath. This makes it an excellent candidate for sympathetic restoration or conservation, rather than full repainting.

We love the proud stance and expressive face – classic traits of the Sportiboy model. These smaller-sized horses are particularly collectible and display beautifully in both period and modern interiors.
