Pendulum Princess-Fairytale Gift-Handmade Metal Balance Model

Pendulum Princess is a handmade metal princess riding side-saddle on her white horse, with a flowing red gown, gold crown and starry blue saddlecloth. Balanced on a hidden counterweight, she glides gently at the lightest touch. A proper storybook piece with real fairytale character, straight from the pages of a classic book of tales.

Each piece is cut, shaped, assembled and hand-painted in a traditional blacksmith's workshop, in the spirit of the painted tinplate balancing toys of the Victorian and Edwardian nursery. Made in small batches, so no two are exactly the same, little differences in the brushwork are the mark of proper handmade work.

A wonderful gift for anyone who loves fairytales, princesses, horses or folklore. Just as good as a keepsake present for a daughter, granddaughter, goddaughter or niece who's mad about ponies and princess stories, and lovely for grown-up collectors of folk art too. Sits beautifully on a bedroom shelf, dressing table, mantelpiece or windowsill. Makes a memorable birthday, christening, Christmas or godparent gift with real storybook charm.

Pairs beautifully with the Noble Knight balance model for a matching pair.
