reading and writing room

Hello, I have a question regarding the reading and writing room lights, in particular, the “electrolier” lights manufacturer by Perry & Co. What are the dimensions of these lights and what made them special? Many thanks,

I came across the following image online, which is a colourization of the Library & Writing Room on the R.M.S. Mauretania. I have a question about it and so thought I would consult the knowledgeable members of this forum. Of course when she was launched, this room was decorated with...

Hi all! I'm currently working on a miniature replica of the Reading and Writing room. I'm having a hard time locating any close ups of the writing desks. They're unique and I realized I carved the wrong kind of top for it but I just can't quite make out all the details. All the known photos...

I understand the Reading Room is still somewhat intact, complete with the wall lunettes and fireplace, however I have never been able to find footage or photos of it anywhere. It seems like there are lots of areas that were photographed/filmed and nothing was released. It would be great if...

Hey There, I saw a picture on this site...(you have to go a page or two ahead on the bottom with the arrow) of the Reading And Writing room. There is a wall next to the Bay windows instead of the alcove I usually see. Whats going on in this picture? Was there no alcove on the olympic? Thanks!

Hello, Many of you may know me for my Grand Staircase model. Now I have started this new thread on my new adventure on building Titanics Reading & Writing Room. As I finish the Grand Staircase I will start drawing plans in 1/12 scale. Please feel free to ask any questions as I go along...

Isnt it curious that 2nd class had thier own library, but 1st class did not? Granted there was a large bookcase in the 1st class lounge, and I dont think there were many books in the R&W room... Do we have any idea what books Titanic carried? I wonder if Lawrence Beesley kept that book he was...

I have a couple of questions about the Reading and Writing Room Panneling. 1.) During the 1935 auction, where did the paneling and molding end up, and where is it today. Are they lost. Also what about the furniture and lights. 2.) When the alcove was taken out, did they use the alcove...

In reading the Father Brown book, one Titanic photo has me scratching my head, is the somewhat hazy photo of the alcove of the Reading And Writing Room. Since the rug has the same wrinkle as in the photo of the same room on Olympic, I think both photos were either from Olympic or Titanic...

When Cameron returns to explore Titanic, I'm hoping to see the Turkish Bath, swimming bath, 1st class Resuraunt (or whats left of it); port side Verandah Cafe, and Scotland Road explored.... But most of all, im hoping the forward alcove of the A deck Reading and Writng Room, just forward of...

The most common artist's conception of this room seems to be the one that appears in the special Shipbuilder edition for Olympic and Titanic; in this drawing, there seems to be a small flight of three steps that leads up from the main Writing room to a smaller area adjoining it. I have only...
