How we work it out: on a real floor one castor is often carrying little or nothing, so we share the weight across one fewer castor than you fit (with 3 castors, across all 3). Tick the box to add a 30% margin for rough use.
Details & FAQs
Brass Furniture Castor
This 38mm swivel castor pairs a polished brass swan-neck arm with a glossy brown china wheel, rated at 120kg per castor. It is the traditional castor seen on Victorian and Edwardian furniture, and an authentic replacement for armchairs, sofas, chesterfields, tables and chests that need to keep their period character.
The castor fixes with a 34mm wood screw that drives straight up into the bottom of a timber leg, backed by a 38mm round steel plate with small screw holes for extra hold. The swivel head turns a full 360 degrees, so heavier pieces of furniture move and turn smoothly at home, in offices and in hotels.

- ✓ Hotels and clubs: period lounge chairs, writing desks and occasional tables.
- ✓ Offices: traditional partners desks, pedestals and bookcases.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fit a screw fitting castor?
Drill a small pilot hole in the centre of the bottom of the wooden leg, screw the castor in until the round plate sits flat, then add small screws through the plate holes if needed.
What size is the screw?
The wood screw is 6mm in diameter and 34mm long.
How much weight can it carry?
Each castor is rated at 120kg, and a set of four up to 360kg.
What is a china wheel?
It is a hard glazed ceramic wheel, the traditional choice for antique furniture. Its glossy brown finish matches dark wood and brass fittings.
Will it mark my floor?
China wheels are hard, so on delicate wooden floors a castor cup or rug underneath helps protect the surface.
How tall is the castor?
The total castor height is 50mm.
