The brass wheel is in very good and all original condition with no repairs, maintaining a lovely finish with a warm vintage patina to the surface. The yacht wheel is professionally mounted for vertical display on a custom made museum quality metal stand; beautifully presented with wheel turning capability. The stand weighs 29 pounds and was designed and calculated specifically for this wheel, for support and display presentation.
Yacht wheels were originally mounted on a hub which was connected upright to a rudder, facilitating left to right steering direction by turning the wheel clockwise or counter clockwise.
This wheel was acquired from a prominent maritime collection and would make a wonderful addition to a collection of boats or nautical items, or simply as a stand alone piece of folk art. It can sit on a shelf or a table top, or would look terrific on a mantel.
