The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

The ships wheel, or helm, was developed in the early eighteenth century to control the steering mechanism of wooden vessels. Historically constructed from dense hardwoods and non-corrosive metals, these wheels allowed helmsmen to navigate large vessels efficiently before modern automated steering systems were introduced.

Traditional ships wheels were primarily crafted from dense, water-resistant hardwoods such as oak, teak, or mahogany to withstand marine environments. Central hubs and decorative fixings were typically cast from solid brass or bronze to resist saltwater corrosion.

Authentic period ship wheels feature heavy timber construction with joined felloes, hand-turned spokes, and a cast brass central boss. Signs of historical maritime use often include genuine surface wear, original mounting keyways within the brass hub, and aged patination across metal components.

A wooden ship wheel serves as a tactile focal point in coastal, transitional, or eclectic interiors. Mounting the wheel above a sideboard, fireplace mantelpiece, or along a staircase wall introduces warm timber tones and geometric visual structure to the room.

Maintain the timber structure by dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth and applying a clear beeswax polish annually to nourish the wood grain. Clean the brass central hub using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh liquid metal polish that could strip historic patina or stain surrounding timber.
