Honest wear — marks and patina. Everything visible is photographed.
A beautiful piece of engineering disguised as a toy. Named after the 16th-century French cup-and-ball game — two fine-ribbed cylinders joined by a magnetic steel sphere, so the head sits wherever you push it and holds. Point it at a wall for ambient light, at a book to read by, or straight up for nothing in particular.
The magnet is the whole trick: no hinge, no friction joint, nothing to wear out or go loose. The steel ball has taken on some patina, and the cord has two small areas of discolouration. Everything works as it should.
Photographed honestly, in natural light, exactly as it is. No surprises when your new favourite thing arrives.
Everything we sell is 100% authentic. No reproductions, no replicas.
PS. We ship worldwide. For delivery outside Australia, contact us and we'll come back within a day with the best way to get your new favourite piece to you.
