Antique Double-Headed Eagle Charles I King Spain Emblem Wood & Leather Fireplace Bellows
This bellows is made of solid hand carved wood!  I saw another bellows exactly like this in worse condition and it said the bellows are old and rare.  I do not know how to know this, so please do your own research.  Mine looked like they were not used.
Black painted wavy hand carved wood sides and handles with a thin strip of leather to hang  
Tan leather accents and between the wood sides with a longish brass tip
Black oval medallion with Charles I King of Spain's Emblem of Double Eagle Heads
It measures 27 1/2 inches long
The image displays a detailed, vintage-style metal emblem of the Coat of Arms of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, also known as Charles I of Spain. The double-headed eagle was a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire and the Habsburg dynasty. 
  • The emblem features a black double-headed eagle with a central shield displaying the quartered arms of the various kingdoms Charles V inherited. 
  • The arms represent Castile, León, Aragon, Navarre, and Granada, symbolizing the unification of Spain through his maternal grandparents, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon. 
  • The double-headed eagle has been a historical symbol of power and dominance used by rulers to project authority, including the Romans and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. 
  • Charles V inherited the Burgundian Netherlands, the kingdoms of Spain, and the Habsburg lands in central Europe, which his coat of arms was designed to reflect.
