Brass U-Gimbal Compass with Wooden Base – Wholesale Nautical Decor

A Place for Maritime Character

A coastal room needs more than an anchor on the wall. It needs objects that invite a story. Our brass U-gimbal compass on a wooden base brings instrument-inspired character to a desk, shelf or nautical gift collection, with a circular compass bowl, brass support and contrasting green and red side knobs.

For your buyers, it can recall a love of the sea, a career spent choosing a course or a mentor who helped others find their bearings. Tell us the audience you want to reach, and we can discuss how this piece fits your collection or corporate gifting brief.

Build a Display Around a Story

Imagine a coastal hotel reception with a small maritime display. Our compass sits beside a framed local seascape, giving guests a detail to pause over. In a gift shop, that same design can become a retirement keepsake accompanied by a personal message. The setting and story give your buyers a reason to look beyond the object.

Our Standard Design

• Supply unit: One complete compass-and-base assembly.
• Compass housing and support: Brass bowl, surrounding gimbal ring and U-shaped bracket.
• Dial: Light-coloured directional compass dial beneath a protective cover.
• Side details: Green knob on one side and red knob on the other.
• Base: Dark, stepped rectangular wooden base.

We offer this as a modern vintage-style decorative piece, not an original antique. Agree overall height, width, bowl diameter, wood species, side-knob material and item weight during sample review if these matter to your purchasing brief. Separate gift boxes and other display accessories are not automatically included.

Wholesale Supply

Our standard MOQ is 100 complete compass-and-base units. Flexibility for genuine B2B or corporate orders can be discussed by prior agreement, not assumed.

The displayed price is for an individual complete assembly, not the total value of the minimum order. Request a quotation covering quantity, customization, packing and destination. Sample availability, sample charges and dispatch are agreed separately before bulk production.

Who We Can Supply

• Nautical gift shops and coastal-home retailers.
• Heritage and maritime visitor-centre shops.
• Corporate gifting agencies and retirement recognition programmes.
• Interior designers, hospitality buyers and display projects.
• Online resellers, importers and distributors building a nautical range.

For international sourcing, share your country, postal code, quantity and required date. We can discuss destination-specific packing and dispatch arrangements as part of the quotation.

Decorative Gimbal Design, Clear Expectations

Our assembly includes moving parts, but we do not promise calibrated directional accuracy, tested self-leveling performance or marine-navigation capability. The compass needle may not provide accurate readings. Use it as a decorative display or gifting piece, not ship safety equipment or a sole navigation instrument.

Nearby metal, magnets and electronics may affect magnetic readings. Request a sample demonstration if movement or operating details matter to your project. Handle the bowl, pivots and knobs gently; do not force adjustments.

A Name or Message for Your Project

Discuss engraving or branding with us before ordering so we can review suitable surfaces and space. Do not assume the dial, coloured knobs or moving parts can be engraved. Proposed finish, design or packaging changes require separate agreement.

For agreed engraving, buy the Aladean Personalization Add-On and compass in the same cart. Put exact wording, preferred language and identify this U-gimbal compass and requested component or surface in order notes.

The add-on is separately purchased; custom engraving is not included in the standard price. We agree feasibility, script suitability, artwork, placement, service quantities, charges and timing. Confirm service quantities for bulk orders rather than assuming one add-on covers every unit. Check wording and approve the digital mockup before custom production.

Sample, Packing and Timing

Review finish, dimensions, mounting, moving parts and engraving against the agreed sample. Discuss protection for the dial cover, side knobs and wooden base, together with inner and outer carton requirements. Optional branded presentation is separately quoted. Illustrative packing and trade-display images are concepts, not proof of supplied packaging or a particular showroom.

We agree sample review, artwork approval, production, dispatch and transit timing for your order. We commit only to what we can deliver. Arrival for a launch or event requires express agreement.

Trade Buyer Questions

Is the wooden base included?
Yes. Each supply unit is one complete compass-and-base assembly.

What is the minimum order?
100 complete units. Discuss genuine trade or corporate exceptions with us before ordering.

Is it suitable for navigating a boat?
No. We offer it as a decorative compass, not a calibrated marine instrument.

Can you provide a sample?
Ask us to agree availability, charges and dispatch for sample review.

Can we add a retirement message or company logo?
We can review suitable placement and artwork, then agree scope, service quantities, charges and mockup approval.

Care for the Display

Keep on a stable, dry surface. Wipe brass and wood gently with a soft cloth and protect the dial cover and side knobs from knocks. Avoid abrasive cleaners and ask us for finish-specific guidance before polishing. Keep away from strong magnets and do not force moving parts.

Tell Us Where It Belongs

Send your audience, quantity, delivery destination, required date and engraving or packing brief. We will use those details to discuss a suitable sample and trade quotation for your range.
