Vintage cast iron Double Pulley Art Deco Barnes Pulley Industrial 1800's Rare

Massive Cast Iron, double pulley and frame from 1800's. Spoke pulley wheels are about six inch diameter with a 1 inch groove. This unit is very heavy and historical in nature. Originally comes from an 1800's tobacco and cotton warehouse in what is known as Tobacco Row in Richmond, Virginia.

There is no name or identifying mark. Likely made by a blacksmith nearby. Was very rusty from over 100 years of use. Could date back to slavery period.

Definitely a one of a kind piece of historical architecture! Some see rust, I see art and history. This pulley weights 34 pounds. Heavy, no cracks or damage. An absolutely beautiful piece for display or to be reused.

Would be excellent for a loft. Measures; 7 1/2 on base by 6 1/2. Would need to be mounted on a solid beam. Would be perfect to hang lights from plus add architectural appeal. One of the most unique pulleys I have ever had an opportunity to work on. Thank you for looking and good luck.
