Enjoyed by ancient cultures throughout the world, the spinning top may be the oldest toy known to man. Their humble defiance of gravity provides universal fascination, even to this day.

Our Classic Spinning Tops are hand turned in Austria and no two tops are the same. Each is traditionally crafted to highlight the variety of natural tones and grain markings in the hardwood. Some of the most handsome examples of tops we have come across in our travels.

Alexander E. ★★★★★

My grandfather had one of these and I never understood the appeal until I spun it myself — there's something weirdly calming about watching it wobble and correct itself. Solid little thing, feels heavier than it looks, and it spins way longer than I expected on a flat table.

John T. ★★★★★

Bought this for my desk at work and it's honestly mesmerizing — the thing spins way longer than I expected for such a simple wooden toy. It's small enough to keep in a drawer but sturdy enough that it doesn't wobble off the edge. My kids keep stealing it, so I might need a second one.
