White Star Line Rms Olympic Titanic Era 2nd CL Rare Mustard Deck Chair Blanket
WELCOME TO PURSERSLOCKER'S WEEKLY LISTINGS. I SELL A WIDE RANGE OF QUALITY OCEAN LINER AND 20TH CENTURY DECORATIVE ARTS, SOME ITEMS COME DIRECT FROM MY COLLECTION, WHILST OTHERS ARE RECENT DISCOVERIES AND ARE FRESH TO THE COLLECTORS MARKET. I REGULARLY SELL ITEMS OF FURNITURE AND FIXTURES FROM THE GREAT OCEAN LINERS OF YESTERYEAR, INCLUDING OLYMPIC, MAURETANIA AND THE QUEENS SO PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER LISTINGS. WHITE STAR LINE, C-EARLY 1920'S RARE SECOND CLASS STEAMER OR DECK CHAIR BLANKET. NEAR IDENTICAL EXAMPLES WERE USED ON THE TITANIC, THIS EXAMPLE LIKELY TO HAVE COME FROM OLYMPIC.

A VERY SIMILAR MATCHING TARTAN EXAMPLE WAS AUCTIONED IN THE LATE 1990'S, IT BELONGED TO A SURVIVOR OF THE TITANIC, SHE WAS WRAPPED UP IN IT WHILST FLEEING THE SINKING LINER AND BEING PLACED INTO A LIFEBOAT. SHE WAS WRAPPED IN IT TO KEEP HER WARM, SHE RETAINED IT AFTER AS A REMINDER OF THE NIGHTS HORRIFIC EVENTS.

SEE PICTURE OF SIMILAR EXAMPLES IN USE ON THE SECOND CLASS BOAT DECK ON BOARD THE OLYMPIC/TITANIC, FROM A PERIOD WHITE STAR LINE ISSUED PROMOTIONAL BROCHURE DATING FROM AROUND 1911, ALSO PICTURED IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE BLANKETS USED WITHIN FIRST CLASS (NO INCLUDED IN THIS SALE BUT SHOWN FOR INTEREST). BEAUTIFUL TYPICAL TARTAN DESIGN, WITH THE FULL HAND EMBROIDERED INITIALS OF THE WHITE STAR LINE STAR'W. NO DATE PRESENT BUT ITS THOUGHT THAT THESE EXAMPLES WITH THIS LOGO DATE FROM THE LATE TEEN'S TO THE EARLY 1920'S. THIS EXAMPLE IS LACKING ITS BRONZE'EYE' TAG, THEY HAVE BEEN BEAUTIFULLY AND CAREFULLY HAND STITCHED OVER SO IS ALMOST INVISIBLE.

THIS REPAIR WOULD HAVE TAKEN PLACE AFTER LIFE ON THE ATLANTIC. THE TWO BRONZE EYES WERE USED BY THE DECK STEWARDS TO SECURE THE BOTTOM OF THE BLANKET TO THE FOOT STOOL OF THE DECK CHAIR TO KEEP THE PASSENGER SNUG, AN OLD CONTEMPORARY REPAIR AND PART OF THE BLANKETS RICH HISTORY, A COUPLE OF SECTIONS OF THE TASSELS ARE MISSING IN A COUPLE OF LOCATIONS, AS SHOWN IN THE DETAILED PHOTOS, THIS BLANKET IS IN GOOD BUT USED CONDITION. OFTEN THESE BECOME FADED OR RECEIVE MOTH DAMAGE, THIS APPEARS TO HAVE ESCAPED MOTH, BUT THE COLORS ARE VERY STRONG NUT CONSUMMATE WITH AGE AS YOU'D EXPECT.

ALL IN ALL A SPECTACULAR ITEM IN GOOD CONDITION CONSIDERING IT TO BE A TEXTILE USED UPON THE NORTH ATLANTIC NEARING 100 YEARS OLD. ONLY ONE OF A HANDFUL OF THESE I HAVE HAD OR SEEN IN THIS CONDITION IN 20+ YEARS, RARE.

I HAVE NEVR HAD OR SEEN ANOTHER EXAMPLE IN THIS COLOUR WAY, VERY RARE. PLEASE CHECK MY OTHER LISTING FOR SIMILAR SECOND CLASS STEAMER RUGS AND BLANKETS.

61" (67" WITH TASSELS) X 62. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK. I DO NOT CONTROL THE BRITISH POSTAL SERVICE WHICH AT PRESENT SEEMS TO BE HIGHLY UNRELIABLE. This item is in the category "Collectables\Transportation Collectables\Nautical\Ocean Liners/ Cruise Ships\Titanic/ White Star Line".
