Castor - Plate Leather Wheel

(Note: Measurements are outside max. dimensions unless stated otherwise).

18th Century : Shallow domed leather barrel wheel castor with brass washers.

Option : Three 5/8" No. 2 slotted countersunk colour-matched brass screws.

Option : This casting is supplied at a budget price with a basic machine tumble polished finish which is rather dull caused by minute pitting from bead blasting. We can buff polish by hand to a smooth finish as an option if selected by clicking on the OPTION box above, or supply machine polished if left unticked.

Height : Top of plate to bottom of wheel: 18mm. (11/16") 

PLATE:
Diam. 26mm. (1")

WHEEL
Diam. at bulge 14mm. (9/16")
Width 12mm. (7/16")

Steel pins.

Traditional leather wheel prevents scratching polished surfaces and runs quietly on a wooden floor.

* Historical note: One original use may have been for a cheese coaster containing a complete round cheese which would have been wheeled along a dining table from person to person. Additionally, some light delicate Pembroke and Sutherland tables are mounted on leather wheeled castors.
