English: Forward end of the First Class Smoking Room on the 'Aquitania' (1914) Interior of the passenger liner 'Aquitania' (1914) showing the fireplace at the centre of the forward end of the First Class Smoking Room (also called Carolean Smoking Room), on the Promenade Deck (A Deck). Above the mantelpiece is a full-length portrait of James II, a copy of the painting by Sir Godfrey Kneller (the original painting is in the National Portrait Gallery, London). The carvings may have been inspired by those of the Dutch wood carver Grinling Gibbons (1648-1721). The design of the interiors on the 'Aquitania' was largely the work of Arthur Joseph Davis (1878-1951) of the architects Mewès & Davis, London. The decoration of the First Class Smoking Room was carried out by W. & E. Thornton-Smith Ltd, London.
The overall decorative scheme was said to have been inspired by a room in the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich. |
