An innovative repurposed ladder shelving unit upcycled from a cargo ship's old rope ladder. This is a stylish statement-piece - an item of marine history. Is there a more interesting addition for a lonely wall in need of some Scaramanga appeal? The rope element is fabricated from natural fibre - which we believe is sisal. The wood is hardwood - teak. Many decades ago this rope ladder was suspended and hung over the side of a large ocean-going ship in Northern India. Today, with the use of modern materials such as plastic, this sisal/wood ladder has been replaced giving the opportunity of a second life as a decorative ladder shelving unit With its shallow depth, this 3-tiered wall-shelf would be perfect along a narrow hallway or in a small bathroom. In general, this is a very flexible piece that would suit most domestic or retail environments. Please be aware that our current stock of this item may vary from the images shown.
