Arts of the Sailor and maritime rope work historically served both a functional
purpose and a decorative one.
Long days at sea and nautical
materials provided time and resources for sailors to produce intricate rope work
and marlinspike creations.
Reed Lockhart Phillips hand crafts
timeless sailor knot art such as turks head knot coasters, woven cotton rope
mats and trivets, monkey’s fist key chains and door stops, among other custom
made nautical designs.
What was originally used as a block mat to protect the deck and reduce noise or as a ladder rope mat for traction, can now be used as a decorative and functional accent to your coastal home or for your boat. The beautiful 100% white cotton mats can be used as stair treads, bath or door mats, and on a smaller scale used as placemats, trivets or coasters.
Marine and nautical accessories are always a great reminder of our affinity for the coast and sea. Reed Lockhart Phillips’ rope work collection is all hand-done with the finest materials. You will enjoy these pieces in your home or on your boat for many years
On a boat, these ladder mats are an ideal way to create sure footing on board a slippery, wet deck. Aboard a ship, when the wind is howling and the rain is dumping, you don’t want a slippery ladder, hence the ladder mat was born. This was a supreme form of traction for those wet slippery ladders leading below decks. The ladder mat has a more oval/rectangle shape to it in order to accommodate the rectangular shape of the ladder steps. At the same time, they offer a pleasing aesthetic to the boat.
