Ceramic Furniture Wheel - Stem Type

Porcelain Wheel Casters were a popular style during the 19th century Victorian era. These white ceramic furniture wheels were commonly seen on chairs and small tables. Stem requires minimal install-space, making this style ideal for furniture with thin narrow legs.  This caster employs a Philadelphia drive stem, which threads up into the leg to ensure a firm and secure attachment

These historic casters are authentically reproduced with a solid brass fork and glazed white ceramic wheel. The brass has a polished shine but is not lacquered. Overtime it will develop a pleasing patina. The wheel is made of a durable ceramic material which is covered in a hard white glaze. Caster swivels at swivel-joint between fork and stem. Each is sturdy and durable and provides excellent load-bearing capability.
