The laws of gravity, now well understood by many, seemed magical in Victorian times. Balance toys, very popular in the 19th century, intrigued and amazed people. These toys were originally called skyhooks, effortless counter-weighted sculptures that could be set on a shelf or the rim of a table, and set in motion to delight and amaze everybody.

Handmade from recycled metal and wonderfully finished, this is a perfect piece of ecological and nautical decor for home or cottage.
