EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 32 x 19 inch coffee table, showcased in this photo print, is a testament to the rich maritime history of the Cunard Line. The table's surface is crafted from teak wood, sourced from the legendary RMS Aquitania, a Cunard ocean liner that set sail in 1914. The table's provenance is further authenticated by the brass label affixed to its base, bearing the insignia of the Hughes Bolckow Shipbreaking Company. The RMS Aquitania was one of the most luxurious ocean liners of its time, renowned for its opulent interiors and exceptional service. Its teak wood, prized for its durability and beauty, was sourced from sustainable forests and meticulously crafted into the finest furnishings aboard the ship. Upon the retirement of the RMS Aquitania in 1950, the Hughes Bolckow Shipbreaking Company was contracted to dismantle the vessel. It was during this process that the teak wood from the Aquitania was salvaged and repurposed into elegant pieces of furniture, such as this coffee table. The brass label serves as a reminder of the table's illustrious past, connecting it to the grand tradition of Cunard Line's maritime heritage. This table is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a cherished conversation starter, evoking tales of travel and transportation across the vast oceans. The intricate details of the table's design, from the rich teak grain to the engraved brass label, make it a stunning addition to any home or office, adding a touch of nautical elegance and history.
