AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful set of two original wooden ship blocks (pulleys), sourced from the maritime sector and with an authentic, well-worn appearance.

These blocks are made of solid wood with metal discs and fittings. The larger version is a double-block, while the smaller has a triple sheave. Both pieces show clear signs of use that contribute to their character and authenticity.

Such blocks were traditionally used aboard ships to haul and move lines under load. Today they are highly popular as decorative objects in a nautical interior, in the hospitality industry, or in a collection.
