The thick top is made from a single piece of elm with a turned base with fine line detailing. The top has an iron mechanism that allows the wheel to turn 360 degrees. The base with a grip iron work handle allows the iron pole to be extended if necessary and locked into place whilst work is being completed on the wheel. The t shaped base gives a strong and sturdy solution to the wheel and complemented on turned bun feet. In excellent condition with superb colour and grain throughout. A special item for a potter or sculptor or to be repurposed as a unique occasional table or wine table. It is very unlikely that we shall see another in such superb condition. English, circa 1880.
