Ceramic Furniture Wheels - Plate Type with Stem
| Caster Size
| If updating vintage furniture, replace all casters. This insures uniform height, style & appearance. |
Porcelain Wheel Casters are constructed with a substantial, solid brass fork and glazed white ceramic wheel. Brass fork has shiny polished finish. It is not lacquered and will naturally age over time. Caster swivels at swivel-joint between fork and leg plate.
Historically porcelain wheel casters were used on walnut chairs and marble top tables. They were the darling of the Victorian era. These reproduction casters are made like the originals, that were used on 19th century antique furniture. The brass and porcelain combination creates a showy conclusion to furniture legs.
