Description
Long before Halloween became a night of costumes and candy, the ghost was already its oldest character: a spirit who lingered, unwilling or unable to leave. Old stories gave it a lantern to carry, light enough to wander by in a world it no longer quite belonged to.
The Ghost skyhook brings that folklore to life. Cast in iron and hand-painted to an antiqued finish, it depicts a wandering spirit, lantern in hand, flanked by a pair of drifting ghosts and a carved pumpkin, all balanced on a working mechanism in the tradition of 18th- and 19th-century balance toys. Give it a gentle push, and it swings, holding its own quiet motion long after the room has gone still.
On a mantel, a shelf, or anywhere the season deserves a little theater, it holds its own quietly. Folklore, cast in iron, for spaces where a little seasonal mischief is welcome.
