An attractive large framed and glazed maritime knot board, beautifully displaying a collection of traditional sailors’ knots, decorative rope-work and seamanship techniques. Mounted against a navy blue felt backing within a quality timber display case, this is both an educational reference and an eye-catching piece of nautical wall décor.

The display features a variety of classic knots, each individually labelled, including the French Bowline, Bowline on the Bight, Double Bowline on the Bight, Spanish Bowline, Blackwall Hitch, Sheet Bend, Double Sheet Bend, Carrick Bend, Masthead Knot, Cape Horn Masthead Knot, and the romantic “Two Hearts Beat As One” decorative knot. The central rope-work showcases a traditional Matthew Walker knot with decorative seizings, illustrating classic marlinspike seamanship.

Adding further interest are several carved-style maritime badges, including references to Amethyst, London, and Black Swan, enhancing the display’s naval character.

Presented in a handsome glazed hardwood frame with contrasting inner moulding, the piece is ready to hang and would make an excellent addition to a study, yacht club, pub, sailing clubhouse or coastal home.

Very good decorative condition overall. The rope-work remains clean and well-presented, with only minor age-related wear to the frame consistent with display and use.
