Lot 126
Please note that the description for lot 126 has been amended as follows:A White Star Line, RMS Olympic, Titanic & Britannic, à la carte restaurant dining chair in the Louis XVI style, circa 1911, probably supplied for either the Olympic or Britannic, with a guilloche-carved arched, foliate carved arms and acanthus-wrapped supports, the padded back and seat now upholstered in nailed hide, with a laurel carved seat rail on spiral fluted legs with x-shaped stretchers centred by a floral patera, 91cm highProvenance: Christies London, A Tribute to John Fowler, 14 September 2006, lot 418Provenance: Probably supplied for use on either the Olympic or Britannic White Star liners which were respectively commissioned in 1911 and 1915.The armchair here is of identical design to those used on the Olympic-class liners, Britannic, Titanic and Olympic which were the first British ships to feature separate restaurants independent of their dining saloons. Luxury dining of this standard was first established on the German liner Amerika (1905), which included a restaurant serving haute cuisine, run by the famous hotelier César Ritz. Likewise both Olympic and Titanic employed a leading London restaurateur Luigi Gatti who was tragically to lose his life and those of his staff following the sinking of Titanic.All three British ocean liners were built by the celebrated Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast Northern Ireland. Designed to be the largest and most luxurious passenger liners in their class, these established White Star as the gold standard of the industry. Titanic is infamous for her maiden-voyage sinking in 1912, only to be followed four years later by her sister ship’s demise in 1916 during World War I after hitting a mine in the Aegean Sea. Olympic, the most enduring of the trio was the largest ever British-built ship in the world, until its scrapping in 1935. Queen Mary, its natural successor in scale, was commissioned in 1936.The chairs were first produced and designed in 1919 for Olympic in 1911It is possible that the offered lot was removed from Olympic during one of her refits, the first of which addressed safety concerns arising from Titanic’s sinking.
