First Class Dining Saloon on the 'Lucania' (1893)

Interior of the passenger liner 'Lucania' (1893) showing the First Class Dining Saloon, on the Main Deck (a general view looking aft from the port side). It is decorated in the Italianate style; the rampant lion insignia of the Cunard Line appears on the swivel chairs which were bolted to the floor to avoid movement during rough weather. The white and gold coffered ceiling is supported by Ionic pillars. Room dividers with arched open bays are visible on the right side of the image.

The design and furnishing work in the First Class Dining Saloon was carried out by the Fairfield Shipbuilding & Engineering Co Ltd.
