Description
Brass Claw Castor
The Brass Claw Castor is a traditional decorative furniture castor designed for applications where the castor remains visible and contributes to the overall appearance of the furniture.
Its distinctive claw-style body makes it particularly suitable for period furniture, reproduction pieces and restoration work where a standard modern castor would look out of place.
Available in 25mm (1″) and 32mm (1¼”) options, with a choice of traditional finishes and wheel styles.

Typical applications include:
- Traditional chairs

Replacing an Existing Claw Castor
When replacing castors on older or restored furniture, don’t choose from appearance alone.
Check:
- Wheel diameter
- Overall castor height
- Width and shape of the furniture leg
- Existing fixing arrangement
- Position of the castor
- Condition of the timber
- Whether the original fitting is a claw-style castor
Where possible, remove one existing castor and compare it directly before ordering.
If you’re unsure which castor you need, contact Livedale before ordering.
Choosing the Correct Brass Furniture Castor
The Brass Claw Castor is one of several traditional castor styles available from Livedale.
Claw Castors
Choose this product where a decorative claw-style castor suits the furniture and forms part of its traditional appearance.
Box Castors
The closest decorative alternative is the Brass Box Castor, which uses a more enclosed traditional box-style design.
Cup Castors
Where the castor fits around the end of a wooden furniture leg, consider the 25mm Brass Cup Castor or the larger 32mm Brass Cup Castor.
Grip Neck Castors
Where the furniture uses a stem-and-socket fitting, see the 25mm Brass Grip Neck Castor or 32mm Brass Grip Neck Castor.
Screw Plate Castors
For furniture requiring an underside plate fixing, see the 25mm Brass Screw Plate Castor or 32mm Brass Screw Plate Castor.
Screw Cup Castors
Where a central woodscrew fitting is required, see the 32mm Brass Screw Cup Castor.
Claw Castor or Box Castor?
These are the two most decorative traditional castors in the Livedale brass range.
