Interior of the passenger liner 'Orama' (1911) showing the First Class Dining Saloon, on the Upper Deck (a view of the port side, looking forward). The swivel chairs were bolted to the floor to avoid movement during rough weather; they were a standard feature of ships’ restaurants until the First World War.

The main public rooms on the 'Orama' were designed by the architect Robert Whyte (1873-1949). The First Class Dining Saloon was decorated in the Neoclassical style. The carving and plastering work was carried out by the Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts.
