HARLAND & WOLFF SHIPBUILDERS, 7 ORIGINAL FINE BESPOKE CARVED WALNUT AND SATINWOOD PANELS, C-1893, FOR THEWHITE STAR LINE, RMS "ROMANIC". ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR THE DOMINION LINE AS THE RMS "NEW ENGLAND" SHE WOULD SOON BE TRANSFERRED TO THE WHITE STAR LINE AND BECOME HER BEST KNOWN SELF, LATER BEING TRANSFERRED AGAIN TO THE ALLAN LINE AND BECOMING THE SS "SCANDINAVIAN", RETAINING HER NAME LATER STILL BEING TRANSFERRED BUT RETAINING HER NAME TO THE CANADIAN PACIFIC LINE, BEING SOLD FOR SCRAP IN 1923.

THE PANELS CAN CLEARLY BE SEEN IN SITU WITHIN HER 1ST CLASS READING & WRITING ROOM IN THE ARCHIVAL PICTURES KINDLY UNCOVERED BY SOME GOOD FRIENDS WITHIN THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF IRELAND ARCHIVE OF ROBERT WELSH IMAGES TAKEN ON BEHALF OF HER BUILDERS IN 1893, SEE PICTURES.

THE PANELS DEPICT 13 FINE HAND CARVED PORTRAITS FROM THE ARTS & MUSIC, THEY INCLUDE:-

BURNS, BYRON, DRYDEN, MILTON, MENDELSON, OWEN, MOUNT COPPERY? DE VINCI, MOZART, BEAUMOUNT, VERNE, WHITTLER AND SPENCER.

THEN THERE IS ONE CARVED DECORATIVE PLAQUE, AND A FURTHER THREE, ALL DEPICTING THE US STATES OF CONNECTICUT, MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND, ALL OF WHICH MAKE UP PART OF NEW ENGLAND, HER ORIGINAL, AS BUILT NAME. ONE FINAL CENTRAL PLAQUE DISPLAYS A FINELY CARVED FULL CREST FOR THE ENGLISH ROYAL FAMILY, SIGNIFYING THE CLOSE TIES OF THE TWO GREAT NATIONS, HANDS ACROSS THE SEA, AND THE GREAT TRANSATLANTIC CROSSING BETWEEN US.

A FEW OR THE REMAINS OF THE STEWARD CALL BUTTONS ARE STILL IN PLACE (PICTURED).

EACH OF THE LARGE PANELS ARE APPROXIMATELY 120 CM X 100CM.

THE PANELS ARE IN AS FOUND CONDITION, SOME LOSSES TO SOME OF THE PANELING THROUGH OUT, THEY WILL NEED RE FINISHING, BUT OVERALL FOR WELL OVER 130 YEARS OLD, NOT BAD. I HAVE PRICED THEM APPROPRIATELY, I COULD SELL THEM FOR SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IF I CHOSE TO BREAK THEM UP AND CUT THE PANELS DOWN, THE THREE STATES OF THE US ARE OF STUPENDOUS QUALITY AND RAREITY, I BELEVE THETY WOULD SELL FOR SEVERAL THOUSAND EACH, BUT I VERY MUCH WANT TO KEEP THEM TOGETHER IN THE HOPES SOMEONE WILL BUY THEM FOR A PROJECT TO USE AS A WHOLE, THAT IS MY HOPE AT THIS TIME.

PLEASE NOTE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS EXPENSIVE (FOR SEA FREIGHT TO THE US, AROUND FOUR WEEK, AT THE FIGURE OF £2500, THAT IS AT COST), THESE PANELS ARE VERY LARGE AND VERY HEAVY AND WILL NEED TO GO VIA A FINE ART SHIPPER, QUOTE IS A ROUGH GUIDE, PLEASE ENQUIRE. UK COLLECTION IS POSSIBLE FROM MYSELF ON THE ISLE OF WIGHT OR SOUTH COAST, SOUTHAMPTON/PORTSMOUTH AREA, AND I WOULD DELIVER FOR PETROL COSTS TO A SERVICE STATION ON THE M25.

PLEASE ENQUIRE.
