Perfect Princess-Fairytale Princess on Horseback Gift-Handmade Metal Balance Model

Perfect Princess is a handmade metal princess mounted on her white horse, dressed in a soft blue riding dress and gold crown with a little red pennant fluttering behind her. Balanced on a hidden counterweight, horse and rider rock gently at the lightest touch before settling back to rest.

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, the little differences in the brushwork are the mark of proper handmade work.

A wonderful gift for anyone who loves fairytales, medieval history, storybook heroines and folklore. Just as good as a keepsake present for a daughter, granddaughter, goddaughter or niece who's mad about princesses, ponies and castles as it is for grown-up collectors of folk art. Sits beautifully on a bedroom shelf, mantelpiece, bookcase or windowsill. Makes a memorable birthday, christening, Christmas or godparent gift with real storybook charm.

Pairs beautifully with Pendulum Princess and Noble Knight for a matching fairytale set.
