The rocking horse is one of childhood’s most iconic toys; they’ve been a staple of nurseries and play rooms since the 16th century and a favorite gift from Santa for decades. Imagine the surprise of any child—or child at heart—when they find this one-of-a-kind hand-carved equine beside the tree on Christmas morning. Crafted from Hawaiin Koa wood by the late artisan Bill Cooper, this amazingly detailed work of art will bring a smile to the face of hippophiles of any age. It features an intricately carved flowing mane, wood harness and saddle details, and leather harnesses. 65″H by 96″ long. $15,000 (woodsandwhites.us)
