Product Description

Add a piece of nautical history to your collection with this impressive shipping Keesje. With a diameter of 15 cm (5.9 inches), this Keesje is not only a striking decorative item, but also a witness to maritime skills and traditions. Perfect for lovers of shipping and nautical decoration, and a wonderful gift for anyone who appreciates the sea.

This large Keesje, equipped with a beautiful Turkish knot and a throwing line, is made with traditional techniques that date back to the golden age of sailing. It serves as a functional work of art, allowing sailors to cast and receive lines and mooring lines, essential for mooring and transfer.

History of the Product:
The Keesje plays a crucial role in shipping for the safe and effective transfer of lines between ships or from ship to shore. This particular model was probably made in the early 20th century, when such throwing lines were indispensable on every ship. The weighting, traditionally a bag filled with sand, is braided with a Turkish knot, a decorative element that also improves the grip.

Perfect as a gift:
This antique Keesje is not only functional but also highly decorative, making it a wonderful gift for collectors of maritime antiques, nautical history enthusiasts, or as a unique addition to home or office interiors.
