Antique Scotch Iron Brace with wrought iron frame and turned Wood Handle - 19th Century Woodworking Tool

£50.00
Victorian, circa 1850-1900
Unknown manufacturer.

A characterful antique hand brace with swept crank handle and turned wooden grip. Made with a wrought iron frame, with a hardwood handle and brass ferrule.

This lovely Victorian-era hand brace showcases quality craftsmanship typical of 19th-century carpentry tools. The gracefully curved iron crank provides smooth rotation, whilst the substantial mushroom-shaped wooden handle (possibly beech or fruitwood) offers comfortable control. A brass ferrule adds both decorative appeal and structural support between the handle and shaft.

With a width of 13 1/4" (34cm), height of 6" (15cm), and a depth of 3" (7.5cm), this tool not only serves its practical purpose but also boasts a rich aesthetic that brings character to any workspace. Perfect for collectors of antique hand tools, traditional woodworking enthusiasts, or as a decorative piece with authentic workshop heritage. Display in a vintage tool collection or man cave.

This hand brace has been lightly cleaned to preserve its original patina, reflecting the quality craftsmanship of the era. Although it shows some signs of age-related wear, it remains in good antique condition with honest patina to the metalwork. The wooden handle is solid with attractive natural aging. Mechanism moves freely.

All items where appropriate will be sent well packaged, tracked and insured. Where possible we will combine purchases for shipping. The total weight is 1.2KG, and postage charges will reflect this weight. If you need alternative postage arrangements or wish to arrange for collection, please get in touch with us. Each piece will be carefully wrapped and packed in a durable cardboard box for maximum protection. We strive to use recycled packaging whenever possible to minimize our environmental impact, so your order might arrive in a repurposed Amazon or cat food box. For international purchases other than those specified, please contact us to discuss shipping options.
