Angel Balance Toy ~A la Maison ~ Authentic Models

Angel Balance Toy

Let the angel top the tree. Another Part of our series of classic Christmas objects, with a history going back centuries. A hand made angel topping the Christmas tree, using recycled iron tin plate. Fully articulated, it shows that simple laws of physics never cease to appeal and please young and old alike.

Hand cut from heavy sheet metal, hand painted in richly crackled, distressed paint.
Using sharp chisels, craftsmen cut the steel plate into shape and hammer the edges.
Village painters hand paint faces and important details. Apprentices do base paint and more mundane details.
The distressed finish is the result of an old and proven system of combined layers of paint of slightly different composition.
The final step is a hand rub with dark colored beeswax giving it the final finsh and feel. In the manner of their antique predecessors, our balance toys are true originals

Balance toys were originally called skyhooks, simple counter-weighted toys which could be set on a shelf or the rim of a table, and set in motion to everyone’s delight and amazement.

It all goes back to childhood memories. Grown men buying sailboats, old-timer cars, and old biplanes. Guided and inspired by adventure books they read when they were boys.
