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. Size of inches: H 20” x W 20” x D 20” Condition: Aged Origin: United Kingdom Age: Early 20th Century Completely solid in structure and form, Natural aging across all surfaces. Some of the wooden sections show damage and loss is present. A few of the glass mirror sections are missing each ball. The paint has worn and flaked of across both items also. These items are close to 80 to 100 years old and well used. Please expect much wear and tear across both examples. All the items that we sell at The House of Antiques are authentic and as described, we ask that all clients consider the items age and photos that have been supplied to display the items condition.
