WHITE STAR LINE, ORIGINAL BEECH OR HARDWOOD, RMS 'OLYMPIC' & 'TITANIC' ERA, DECK OR STEAMER CHAIR, C-1910/20.EXCEPTIONAL MUSEUM STANDARD ACTUAL ORIGINAL WORKING AND USABLE DECK OR STEAMER CHAIR USED ON BOARD ONE OF THE LINERS OF THE WHITE STAR LINE.
MY RESTORER TELLS ME THIS CHAIR IS MADE FROM BEECH, THE ONES IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD HAVE BEEN TEAK, THE GRAIN OF THIS CHAIR IS STUNNING, IT NOW POSITIVELY GLOWS IN THE LIGHT WITH ITS NEW VARNISH, READY FOR ANOTHER 100 YEARS OF USE.
THE REAL THING, NOT A REPRODUCTION.
VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE MANUFACTURED FOR 'TITANIC' & 'OLYMPIC', IN FACT ITS LIKELY THOSE MADE FOR 'TITANIC' WERE MADE BY THE SAME CRAFTS PEOPLE AS THIS EXAMPLE. THESE CHAIRS WERE MADE BY CRAFTS PEOPLE IN HARLAND'S YARD BUT WERE ALSO SUPPLIED BY MANUFACTURES IN THE UNITED STATES AND SUPPLEMENTED AS AND WHEN NEEDED.
C-1910/20, AN EARLY EXAMPLE, WITH THE RARER AND SELDOM SEEN CANE SEAT, WHICH I HAVE JUST HAD PROFESSIONALLY REPLACED, POSSIBLY FOR FIRST CLASS WITH THE EXTRA COMFORTABLE SEAT, NEAR IDENTICAL TO AN EXAMPLE HELD BY THE HALIFAX MUSEUM OF THE ATLANTIC THAT WAS RECOVERED FROM THE WATER AFTER THE SINKING (SEE PICTURES).
BEAUTIFULLY CARVED CENTRAL STAR DECORATION, YOU CAN ALSO JUST SEE THE OUTLINE OF THE NOW SADLY MISSING RESERVATIONS BRASS FRAME ONCE ATTACHED TO THE HEAD REST, THE FOUR SCREW HOLES FOR THIS IS WHAT OBVIOUSLY CAUSED THE SPLITTING AND ULTIMATE LOSS OF THE END SECTION WHICH MY RESTORER HAS BEAUTIFULLY REPLACED, ITS NOT AN INVISIBLE REPAIR AS WE WANTED TO SHOW THE HISTORY AND RETAIN THE STORY OF THE CHAIR.
IN VERY GOOD BUT USED CONDITION. I PURCHASED THIS CHAIR FROM AN ANTIQUE DEALER FROM OXFORD, WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM HIM IT WAS COVERED IN GREEN PAINT (SEE PICTURES BEFORE RESTORATION), ITS CANE SEAT LONG GONE AND REPLACED WITH PLYWOOD, THE TOP OF THE HEAD REST AS SHOWN WAS MISSING. I CHOSE TO HAVE THE CHAIR THOROUGHLY RESTORED AND IT WAS AN EPIC TASK TAKING MANY MAN HOURS. THE CRAFTSMAN I USED TOOK THE WHOLE THING APART AND STRIPPED THE GREEN PAINT BY HAND. EVIDENCE OF THE GREEN PAINT CAN STILL BE SEEN THROUGHOUT WITHIN THE CRACKS AND GRAIN OF THE WOOD, AGAIN I CHOOSE TO LEAVE THIS, HAD I HAD THE CHAIR DIPPED AND SCRUBBED WITH CAUSTIC SODA WE WOULD HAVE LOST THE LOVELY RICH COLOUR OF THE WOOD AND IT WOULD HAVE ENDED UP LOOKING BRAND NEW, WHICH I WANTED TO AVOID, SO I HAD THE CHAIR SYMPATHETICALLY RESTORED. SHOULD YOU WISH THE CHAIR COULD BE FURTHER RESTORED BUT I FELT I WANTED TO GET IT UP TO THE LEVEL WE SEE TODAY, A BEAUTIFUL HISTORIC CHAIR THAT VISUALLY TELLS ITS STORY. THESE ARE SYMPATHETIC REPAIRS & RESTORATION, THEY DO NOT EFFECT THE HISTORY OF THE PIECE.
AS THE CHAIR WAS TOTALLY REBUILT, USING ALL OF THE ORIGINAL PARTS, BRASS/BRONZE SCREWS AND HINGES ETC, THE CHAIR IS IN SOLID AND 100% USABLE CONDITION, THEY ARE A MEANS OF YOU BEING ABLE TO SAFELY AND SECURELY USE THE CHAIR TODAY.
IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, THE VANISH IS A LITTLE HEAVY AND THIS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM A LIGHT SANDING AND FEEDING WITH TEAK OIL OR JUST A SIMPLE COAT OF WAX TO SEAL IT AND MAKE IT SHINE SHOULD YOU DESIRE THAT, OTHERWISE AS FINE AN EXAMPLE AS YOU ARE LIKELY TO FIND.
I PURCHASED THIS CHAIR FROM AN ANTIQUE DEALER IN OXFORD, UNFORTUNATELY ANY HISTORY OR PROVENANCE OF WHICH SHIP THE CHAIR CAME FROM WAS TOTALLY LOST, I HAVE NO WAY IN KNOWING WHICH SHIP THIS MAY HAVE COME FROM, IT IS 100% A PERIOD QUALITY WHITE STAR LINE DECK OR STEAMER CHAIR. IT WAS PAINTED GREEN MANY YEARS AGO, INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH IN AN ADAM GREEN SIMILAR TO THAT USED ON OLYMPIC IN THE 1920'S. SOME YEARS AGO TWO SIMILAR CHAIRS WERE SOLD BY ALDRIDGE'S AUCTION IN ONE OF THEIR TITANIC AUCTIONS, BOTH PAINTED A SIMILAR SHADE OF GREEN, THE PROVENANCE OF THOSE IS THAT THEY HAD COME FROM THE HOMERIC, SO THAT IS A POSSIBILITY FOR THIS CHAIR, BUT AS I STATE UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT KNOW.
THE DECK CHAIR DOES NOT COME WITH THE ORIGINAL DECK CHAIR BLANKET AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES, IT IS SHOWN FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES, IT IS FOR SALE, PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR IT AND A SIMILAR YELLOW EXAMPLE.+++SHIPPING+++SHIPPING IS POSSIBLE TO USA ETC BUT PLEASE NOTE THIS IS EXPENSIVE.
