Sailor's Slops

1600s-1700s

Extremely rare survival of a shirt and breeches, called slops, as worn by sailors from the late 16th through to the 18th centuries. This unique set of loose, practical sailor’s clothing reveals life aboard ship. They are made of very strong linen to endure the hard, rough work. There is tar across the front from hauling ropes. The breeches are heavily mended and patched, which the sailor would have done himself.

Gorgeous 1914 2bd apt. on the first floor of what was once a building for the trustee offices of Christ’s Hospital in London, UK. 1600 sq ft, $1,894,800 approx USD. This is stunning.

Look at how impeccably kept the hallway is.

The moody black walls look superb in this home. Beautiful fireplace in the spacious combination living/dining room.

Look at the wainscoting.

This is so welcoming.

Details of the fireplace. It's so pretty.

A table for 12 fits perfectly in the space.

View of the street from the living room window.

This door leads to the rest of the apt.

The modern kitchen is nice.

This room outside the bedroom, is large enough for a baby grand piano.

This is beautiful.

Gorgeous original fireplace.

What a sanctuary this bedroom is.

I like the tile in the bath. It has a very Zen feel.

This smaller bedroom is also lovely.

It's just blocks from the London Bridge on the River Thames. Location! Location! Location!
