{"product_id":"tidemans-tilt-sailing-boat-balance-model","title":"Tideman's Tilt-Sailing Boat Gift-Handmade Metal Balance Model","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTideman's Tilt is a handmade metal sailing boat with a lone sailor at the tiller, white sail full of wind and the whole vessel leaning into a painted crashing wave below. Balanced on a hidden counterweight, boat and sailor rock gently at the lightest touch, as if riding the swell before settling back to rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eEach 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA brilliant gift for sailors, dinghy racers, yacht club members, coastal fishermen and anyone drawn to life on the water. Just as good as a keepsake for a child who loves seafaring stories and adventures on the high seas as it is for the grown-up collector of maritime folk art. Sits well on a mantelpiece, study desk, boathouse shelf, holiday home, harbourside kitchen or child's bedroom. A memorable birthday, Father's Day, retirement, leaving or housewarming present with real high-seas character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePairs beautifully with Seaside Sailor, Driftwood Journey and Cox \u0026amp; the Crew for a matching maritime set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal Balance Model-Product Details and Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Victoriana Folk Art \/ Nautical Balancing Sculpture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-hammered metal, hand-painted finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Counterbalanced rocking motion (no batteries or electricity required)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sailing and yachting gifts, dinghy racer and yacht club presents, coastal and seaside home decor, gifts for him, gifts for dad and granddad, gifts for children, retirement and leaving gifts, folk art collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall height:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 55cm (21in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3kg (2.8lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFREE UK SHIPPING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWine bottle shown for scale (30cm, 12 inches tall)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottle not included\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LuckyCoinCurio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63314669207901,"sku":"106","price":89.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/6226\/3389\/files\/IMG_9530.jpg?v=1782330430","url":"https:\/\/luckycoincurio.co.uk\/products\/tidemans-tilt-sailing-boat-balance-model","provider":"LuckyCoinCurio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
