Early 20th Century, Circus Balancing Balls
About the Item
Early 20th century circus balancing balls.
We share what we love, and we love these rare early 20th century hand crafted wood and glass mirror English circus balancing balls. Each section is hand crafted using pins, these items weight roughly 15kg each, the glass mirrors are inserted into carved circular sections as shown. These items are highly sculptural and decorative. Just brilliant objects and very rare in our humble opinion.
