Vintage Casters / Black Cast Iron Antique Casters

Vintage casters are particularly well-suited for a wide range of high-end and historically significant applications. In residential settings, they enhance the authenticity of antique furniture pieces such as armoires, dining room tables, display cabinets, and heirloom furniture pieces. These casters are also ideal for custom-crafted furniture where a traditional aesthetic is desired, including library ladders, tea carts, and decorative side tables.

In commercial environments, vintage casters find excellent use in luxury hotels and historic properties, where they can be installed on lobby furniture, display cases, and service carts that must maintain period authenticity while providing reliable mobility. Museums and galleries often utilize these casters for mobile display cases, artifact transport carts, and exhibition furniture that requires both historical accuracy and functional performance.

The hospitality industry frequently incorporates vintage casters in upscale restaurants, private clubs, and boutique hotels where they complement traditional décor on items such as serving carts, wine cabinets, and mobile bars. Additionally, these casters are often specified for restoration projects in historic buildings, including government offices, courthouses, and educational institutions where maintaining architectural integrity is paramount while requiring modern functionality.

Entertainment venues such as theaters, opera houses, and concert halls also benefit from vintage casters on period-appropriate mobile equipment, props, and furnishings that need to blend seamlessly with historical interiors while providing dependable service. These applications demonstrate how vintage casters bridge the gap between preserving historical authenticity and meeting contemporary performance requirements.

These cast iron black polyurethane wheels are available individually in a 4 inch and 5 inch for those seeking to repair or restore existing caster assemblies. The 1/2″ plain bore with optional 3/8″ spanner bushing ensures compatibility with a wide range of vintage and modern caster brackets, making them an excellent choice for replacement or custom applications.

You should never select on the basis of load capacity alone. There is no industry standard for load capacity ratings and they may not include a factor for abuse. Our capacity ratings are below what the casters are capable of carrying because most applications have less than perfect conditions. Please refer to the information shown at the bottom of this page. If you have any doubt as to which wheel or caster is the BEST choice for your application contact us for a recommendation.
