Acorn Brass Handle Tiller

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century brass and wood tiller bar, available as a print from Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. through Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the elegance and craftsmanship of maritime design from the past. Measuring an impressive 35 inches in length and weighing a substantial 7.5kg, this tiller bar is a significant piece of nautical history. The tiller bar, a crucial component of traditional sailing vessels, was used to steer the ship by transferring the rudder's motion to the helmsman. This particular example boasts an intricately designed brass body, adorned with intricate engravings and ornate details. The handle, of acorn type, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication, with the ability to unscrew and replace it with a wooden one if desired. The use of brass in the construction of this tiller bar was not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its durability and resistance to the harsh marine environment. The wooden handle, in turn, provides a comfortable grip for the helmsman, allowing for precise control of the ship's direction. This tiller bar is a beautiful reminder of the rich maritime history of the 19th century, when ships were the primary mode of long-distance transportation and travel. Its intricate design and robust construction reflect the ingenuity and skill of the craftsmen of the time, who created functional works of art that were essential for navigating the vast oceans. Whether you're an avid collector of maritime memorabilia, a historian, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and craftsmanship of the past, this 19th century brass and wood tiller bar is a must-have addition to your collection. With its impressive size, intricate details, and historical significance, it is a true treasure that will transport you back in time.
