Royal Aero, Check Blue

Part of the Authentic Models Elements of the Skies collection, honouring the moment in 1783 when the Montgolfier brothers first lifted a balloon above Versailles and changed what humanity understood about the sky.

Royal Aero, Check Blue is the large offering in the range. The point where presence becomes undeniable. Finished in Check Blue, a gingham pattern with a tailored, country-house character.

Hot air balloons were one of aviation’s first successes. Since 1783, balloons have travelled the skies, often in unintended directions. Each piece features hand-applied balloon strips, hand-woven netting and basket, wooden toggles and sandbags. Every detail considered, nothing left to chance.

Best suited to generous spaces: entrance halls, open-plan living areas, high-ceilinged rooms, or dramatic retail displays where it can be appreciated from a distance. A natural anchor piece for any retailer building out the full Elements of the Skies range.
