EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning cast iron table base, a rare survivor from the iconic RMS Olympic, showcases the elegance and luxury of ocean travel during the early 20th century. Measuring 24 inches in length, this Second-Class table base boasts an intricately designed fluted central column, adorned with the distinctive lion head supports. The RMS Olympic, sister ship to the Titanic, was the largest and most luxurious ocean liner of its time when it set sail on its maiden voyage in 1911. The table base, with its heavy cast iron construction, exudes an air of opulence, reflecting the grandeur of the ship's interiors. The fluted column, a classic architectural feature, adds a sense of sophistication and refinement, while the lion head supports, symbolizing strength and power, underscore the durability and enduring quality of the piece. The RMS Olympic was the first ship to introduce the concept of separate dining rooms for different classes, and this table base would have graced the Second-Class dining room, providing a comfortable and elegant setting for passengers to enjoy their meals during the long voyages. The table base, now a cherished relic of maritime history, offers a glimpse into the bygone era of luxury ocean travel and the attention to detail that made the RMS Olympic a legend in the annals of shipping history. This rare and beautiful cast iron table base, a testament to the grandeur of the past, is a must-have for collectors of maritime memorabilia, antique furniture, and those with a passion for the history of transportation and travel.
