Rocking Arrival-New Baby Stork Gift-Handmade Moving Metal Sculpture

Rocking Arrival is a handmade metal stork carrying a new baby, gently rocking on a hidden counterweight. A lovely twist on the old tradition of the stork bringing a new arrival to the family, with a real Victoriana feel to the painted finish and storybook styling.

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. Small batches mean every model has its own little differences in brushwork and finish, the marks of proper handmade work.

A really special new baby gift, christening present or baby shower keepsake. Just as good from grandparents, godparents, aunts and uncles as it is from close friends. Sits beautifully on a nursery shelf, mantelpiece or windowsill, and it's the sort of piece that gets kept, brought out and passed down. A memorable alternative to the usual soft toys and photo frames.
