Why this decorative ship's wheel makes a difference every day

A ship's wheel on the wall instantly speaks of the sea, the harbour and wanderlust. You don't need lots of other decorations around it. The light, smooth surface with its fine wood grain looks calm and natural rather than loud. A bare wall or a plain shop window becomes a clear nautical scene that people stop to look at.

Material & finish

The decorative wheel is made of untreated lime wood – sturdy, hard-wearing and neatly finished, so it feels pleasant to the touch and keeps its shape for a long time. The surface is light and smooth with a subtle, natural wood grain. As wood is a purely natural material, the shade and grain vary slightly from wheel to wheel, small knots included – that's exactly what makes each piece unique, and it isn't a flaw. The ship's wheel is made in the EU.
