  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Ship’s wheels are usually made from wood, and often feature eight or six spokes with curved handles to allow for comfortable adjustment of the wheel. The center hub of the wheel may feature a metal, usually brass, plate for enhanced durability. Take a look on 1stDibs for an array of antique ship’s wheels.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    A ship's clock is also called a ship’s bell because it indicates the hour by sounding a bell. As a collectible, a ship's bell will complement any home’s nautical-themed décor. Shop a collection of antique and vintage ship’s clocks from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Historically, a bell was rung to denote each half hour of the four-hour long “watch” periods on a ship. The bell was rung manually and time was often kept by a sandglass rather than a clock. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of ship’s bells and nautical clocks.
