About this product
An original antique set of two wooden dumbbells dating from the 1800s. These primitive hand weights feature a medium wood tone and are listed as naive or primitive style. With unknown maker and original condition, they are suitable as collectibles or light exercise props.
Our take
I was curious about these 19th-century wooden dumbbells. They're definitely antiques—the wood has a lovely patina and hand-worn feel. As workout tools, they're very lightweight and not intended for anything beyond gentle movement. I appreciate their historical value, and they look great on a shelf. For $39, you're investing in a piece of fitness history, not a modern gym implement. If you collect vintage exercise gear, they're a nice find.
