Message: [QUOTE="robert warren, post: 413951, member: 160355"] From what Ive read ,the Dining Saloon was Jacobean, modeled after Haddon Hall in England.The Grand Staircase was done in the 17th century William and Mary style, with the large cherub being an exact copy from a grouping in the gardens at Versailles. The reception room also had a Jacobean atmosphere as well. The rest of the interiors were a mix of styles taken from all sorts of time frames. The 1st class lounge and reading room were done up in Louis 15th and 16th styles , and the staterooms were done up in a hodge podge of looks from Empire, Old Dutch, Queen Anne, and the aforementioned French Louis styles etc etc. The Promenade suites were done up in Adams and other 18th century styles,but the private promenade was decorated in the half timbered Elizabethan style.Of course I mentioned on another thread that I don't know of any source that lists what every stateroom was decorated in. It's safe to assume that these looks were carried over and made to look different with regards to wood tones ,fabrics , and colors. Second class interiors like their lounge, dining room, smoking room and staircases also borrowed from history, with Jacobean being a popular look. They were just more toned down since this was 2nd class after all. The Turkish baths were course Moorish and Arabian. Finally the 1st class smoke room was Georgian. [/QUOTE]
