19th Century Gilders Wheel

A 19th century extendable gilders wheel in elm on a T shaped base.

The thick top is made from a single piece of elm with a turned base with fine line detailing. The top has an iron mechanism that allows the wheel to turn 360 degrees.

The base with a grip iron work handle allows the iron pole to be extended if necessary and locked into place whilst work is being completed on the wheel.

The T shaped base gives a strong and sturdy solution to the wheel and complemented on turned bun feet.

In excellent condition with superb colour and grain throughout.

A special item for a potter or sculptor or to be repurposed as a unique occasional table or wine table.

It is very unlikely that we shall see another in such superb condition.

English, circa 1880.
