Collection: Christmas & Festive

Christmas & Seasonal Balance Models

Our Christmas and seasonal range brings a touch of festive magic into the home. Each handmade folk art piece captures the spirit of the season in moving metal form, from the cheerful bounce of A Gift in Motion to the merry chime of Sleigh Bells Ring, the daring descent of Skiing Santa and the storybook charm of The Jolly Juggler. Traditional fairground and Victoriana influences run through the range, making each piece feel like something you'd find at a bygone Christmas market.

Handmade Christmas Sculptures | Festive Folk Art in Moving Metal

These moving metal sculptures suit anyone who loves a proper traditional Christmas. Slow, gentle motion gives them a real sense of magic under the tree lights or in the glow of a fire, and they look wonderful alongside candles, garlands, and other seasonal decor. Collectors of folk art, Victoriana and fairground curios tend to gravitate toward these pieces, and they earn their place in the Christmas box year after year — brought out each December and enjoyed all over again.

Festive Home Decor Ideas for the Mantelpiece, Window Sill and Christmas Tree

Placement is half the fun with Christmas pieces. A Santa or sleigh sculpture on the mantelpiece adds movement to the traditional festive display; a jolly juggler on a hall console welcomes guests through the door; a smaller piece on a window sill catches the eye from both inside and out. They sit beautifully alongside a Nordic-style tree, a candlelit dining table, or a snug reading nook with the fire lit. A decorative piece rather than a toy, so best placed out of little hands' reach in family homes.

Unique Christmas Gifts, Stocking Fillers and Secret Santa Ideas

Christmas balance models make thoughtful gifts for parents, grandparents, godchildren and friends who already have everything. They work well as a main present, a considered stocking filler, or a memorable Secret Santa contribution that stands out from the usual chocolates and socks. Popular too as a first-Christmas-in-a-new-home gift, a hostess present for a Christmas dinner invitation, or a keepsake to mark a child's first Christmas.

Every balance model in our range is held in stock and ready to post the same or next working day (unless marked otherwise). If you'd like to see them in person, our full range is on display at our Devon showroom in Tytherleigh, and we take a rotating selection on the road to fairs, shows and events around the country.
