AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very beautiful and decorative pulley. This industrial pulley was used in the Port of Rotterdam for loading and unloading. The pulley probably dates from the last quarter of the 19th century and, with hook and rope loop, is 43 cm high, 19 cm wide, 15.5 cm deep and weighs almost 7 kg (!!). It is thus a particularly large and heavily built pulley, which must have been used for extremely heavy loads. You could still haul a large car with it!
The wood's grain, its shine, and the wear from use and the sanding of thick ropes are very striking. Also very nice is the oval piece of zinc that was once attached to the side of this pulley to reinforce it. This is how such objects were reinforced in the past. This wood, in combination with the three wooden sheaves (quite special), the wrought-iron frame, the hook and mounting hardware give the instrument, over 125 years old, a particularly captivating appearance! Two of the three wooden sheaves have a crack that likely resulted from temperature and humidity fluctuations, but the sheaves still rotate smoothly in the pulley.
The wood and metal are beautifully preserved with wax.
The pulley is still 100% original and looks as if it were taken straight from a 19th-century harbor scene. In any interior this harbor tool is a very decorative item and a conversation piece, but it can also be used to hang kitchen utensils, or as a coat rack, or a lamp.
The pulley will be carefully packaged and insured for shipment.
Seller's Story
I sell antique and vintage products. The items I sell are very diverse in nature; from lamps to side tables, from phones to wooden sculptures, from vintage kitchen equipment to Art Deco and Art Nouveau coat racks, and everything in between. The things I buy are usually objects that I personally like and that are of high quality. It sometimes takes effort to part with them!
My expertise lies primarily in products from the 20th century.
I ship in used boxes combined with paper filler material. The boxes are sturdy. Usually made of double-wall cardboard. I ship, unless otherwise agreed, always within two days of purchase. I attach great importance to friendly, decent and reliable contact with my buyers.
