19th C. Sailor Made Beckets
This pair of finely woven beckets are in exceptional condition. They are sailor-made, used as handles on sea chests. Many that you find are in tattered condition. These show very mild wear and may have been used on board a ship for a short period of time. The detail in the weaving/knotting is extraordinary. Notice the Monkey Fist handles. A great early pair!
