EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph print showcases a detailed view of a rare and elegant First Class stateroom cabin door from the iconic RMS Olympic. The door, crafted from walnut satinwood 1/2 veneer, boasts two panels adorned with intricate gilt and silver plated door furniture. The set includes a fingerplate, door handles, and grip bar, all stamped with the identifier C86. Measuring 79 x 26 inches for the door and 92 x 37 inches for the surround, this stunning piece of maritime history is a testament to the luxury and opulence of ocean travel during the early 20th century. The door is complete with its original frame, hinges, and heavily carved architrave and head panel, adding to its grandeur. Provenance of this remarkable artifact can be traced back to the Marquis of Granby dispersal sale held on April 14, 2000, by Henry Aldridge & Son Ltd. The RMS Olympic, launched in 1911, was the first of the three Olympic-class ocean liners owned by the White Star Line. Known for their size, luxury, and innovation, these ships revolutionized transatlantic travel. Although not directly related to the shipping company, this First Class stateroom cabin door is an invaluable piece of transport history that evokes the golden age of ocean liners and the elegance of a bygone era.
