Description

In the golden age of Transatlantic travel Leviathan was the largest of the Ocean Liners. Originally built in Germany in 1913 and then laid up in New Jersey during the First World War, she was converted to a Troop carrier in 1917 and renamed by President Woodrow Wilson.

After the war Leviathan was completely reconditioned and returned as the flagship ocean liner for United States Lines in 1923.

This pair of stands was presumably used in the lavishly decorated dining room where the fluted Cornithian columns with gold capitals supported a painted neo-classically inspired ceiling, leading the ship to being referred to as the 'Floating Versailles'.

The eagle medallion on both stands is the emblem of the SS Leviathan. The underside is engraved 'R Wallace U.S.A. 0376 Silver Soldered Gimbel Brothers'.

22" high x 16" diameter

The stands are in well presented condition overall. Both are heavy, (and musical) each tier having a bell like resonance when tapped. There is some wear to the silver plate in places, the most conspicuous area is illustrated in image 4. The top tier on one stand sits slightly off horizonal and there are some isolated scratch marks.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

FAQs

Ocean liner silver was manufactured specifically for the high-end dining rooms of luxury passenger ships, reflecting the height of maritime design and engineering during the early twentieth century.

These pieces typically consist of a base metal, such as nickel silver or Britannia metal, coated in a layer of pure silver using traditional electroplating methods.

Authenticity is usually confirmed by examining makers marks, stamps, and hallmarks stamped into the metal, along with assessing wear patterns and the quality of construction.

These items can be used as sculptural centrepieces on dining tables or sideboards, contrasting polished reflective metal with organic textures like wood or stone.

Silver plate requires gentle cleaning with non-abrasive silver polishes and microfibre cloths to remove tarnish without wearing away the thin layer of plating.
