Description from the seller

A very characterful and robust maritime antique object. This authentic single-sheave ship block is made from heavy hardwood and structurally reinforced with a thick hand-forged iron band hardware, featuring the classic diamond-shaped securing around the central axle. On the underside there is a solid forged iron mounting hook. This type of artisanal nautical hardware was used on sailing and cargo ships for hoisting heavy loads and tensioning the rigging. The pulley presumably had a new piece of wood fitted in the past and is supplied with the depicted piece of authentically braided ship rope, which enhances its historical appearance. Today it is a highly sought-after item in the market for industrial design and high-quality maritime decor (for example, for conversion into a unique pendant lamp). Shipping: The item is carefully and professionally packaged. Shipping takes place via a reliable parcel service, fully insured and provided with a Track & Trace code. It has been treated against woodworm.
