Horse Rider Balance Toy
Dimensions: 18 x 12 x 58 inches
Another classic
colonial weathervane. Charming design. Incredible craftsmanship.
Using sharp chisels, craftsmen cut
the steel plate into shape and hammer the edges. Others bend, cast and attach
the wire hung counterweight and check balance and swing. Village painters hand
paint faces and important details. Apprentices do base paint and more
mundane details. The distressed finish is the result of an old and proven
system of combined layers of paint of slightly different composition. The final
step is a hand rub with dark colored beeswax giving it the final finish and
feel. In the manner of their antique predecessors, our balance toys are true
originals.
