Balance Toys
by Authentic Models / AM USA

The word 'Tole' is mainly used by antique experts and collectors. It stands for painted tin, and covers a whole world of 18th and 19th century household products, such as storage tins, clocks made in tin plate, lamps, etc. The AM USA collection of balance toys have been hand cut from metal sheet, and hand painted. Tole objects are characterized by their richness of paint and texture. Actually early tole craftsmen, inspired by Japanese and Chinese lacquered objects, tried to duplicate the intensity of color and depth. Another cultural cross-fertilization. Balance toys were first made as a demonstration tool of the workings of counterweights and centrifugal force. They soon evolved into whimsical and fun objects, never ceasing to amuse and surprise.

Each Balance Toy comes with a numbered tag confirming that they are made in limited numbers.
