EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 20th century teak circular coffee table, now a prized piece of furniture in any home, once held a significant role in maritime history as part of the renowned R.M.S. Aquitania. Measuring 22 inches in diameter, the table's top was skillfully crafted from reclaimed teak by the Hughes Bolckow Shipbreaking Company. The R.M.S. Aquitania, a Cunard Line vessel, was a testament to the grandeur of ocean travel during the early 20th century. The table's small plaque adds an intriguing backstory to this unique piece, bearing the inscription, "Made by the Hughes Bolckow Shipbreaking Company from teak taken from R.M.S. Aquitania." The table's circular design, with its smooth, richly grained teak surface, invites relaxation and conversation. The Hughes Bolckow Shipbreaking Company, known for its expertise in ship recycling, transformed the retired R.M.S. Aquitania's teak into functional and decorative items, preserving the history and allure of the once-mighty ocean liner. The table's connection to the 20th century Cunard Line and the R.M.S. Aquitania adds a touch of nautical history and sophistication to any living space. This coffee table is not only an exquisite addition to your home decor but also a testament to the beauty and versatility of reclaimed materials. Its intriguing past and elegant design make it a conversation starter and a cherished piece that tells a story of transportation history.
