The Late Sarah Stewart Collection of Dolls and Rocking Horses (Lots 2001 - 2018), a much loved collection from the estate of a West Midlands collector.

A single private owner collection of untouched and previously unseen Toys to include a range of rocking horses and dolls by or attributed to various manufacturers including Paul Leach, F H Ayres, Lines Brothers, Jumeau, Heubach Koppelsdorf, Schoenau & Hoffmesiter and Jules Nicholas Steiner.

Sarah's interest for Dolls and Rocking Horses started at an early age, it was at the age of two when she observed a 'walking doll' in a local toy shop that she was captivated and her passion began.

The love and interest for collecting Rocking Horses started much later in life for Sarah as she had always had a passion for riding and working with real Horses. She had her own Horse but unfortunately due to a serious riding accident she took the difficult decision to give up riding, instead she took the direction of rescuing Horses instead. The carved Rocking Horses at this stage in her life became very important to her and she would constantly research and study the origins of such pieces. Sarah believed that the history behind the objects was just as important as the objects themselves.

The Collection was studied and curated over several years and saw Sarah travel the breadth and depth of the country to add that new member to her ever growing family.
