First Class Drawing Room on the 'Aquitania' (1914)
Interior of the passenger liner 'Aquitania' (1914) showing the First Class Drawing Room, also called the Adam Drawing Room, on the Promenade Deck (A Deck); a view of the library section, looking forward.
The First Class Drawing Room was decorated in the Neoclassical style using characteristic motifs from the repertoire of Adam ornaments such as arabesques, urns, Corinthian columns, husks, and grisaille plaques.
A copy of a painting by Cipriani depicting Neptune and Amphitrite in a chariot drawn by sea horses is visible above the marble fire place (the original is a panel of the Gold State Coach).
The walls are decorated with mezzotints depicting George III after Allan Ramsay, the Marchioness of Hertford after Reynolds, and Samuel Johnson after John Opie.
Wedgwood jasper ware can be seen on the chimney piece and on the left-hand side console.
