AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I am offering for sale an authentic wooden steering wheel (helm), which is a unique element of a nautical-themed collectible decor. The item is made from solid hardwood, probably rosewood or mahogany, with turned spokes and a classic brass hub in the center. The steering wheel features an authentic, 'worn' appearance that gives it a historical charm. Visible signs of use include paint chips and patina on the brass, which can be restored to refresh its look or left in its current, original state. Dimensions: total diameter: approximately 37 cm, wooden ring diameter: approximately 23 cm, central brass element diameter: approximately 6.5 cm, depth (distance from the wall after mounting): approximately 6.5 cm. The wheel originates from Denmark. Considering the craftsmanship style and patina, it is estimated to be from the mid-20th century, making it a vintage-style item. It is perfect as a unique wall decoration, adding a nautical character to any interior.
Shipping notice: Due to customs regulations, it is not possible to ship this item to the United States of America (USA).
