Description: | A two person settee with carved wooden arms and back and turned wooden feet, upholstered in brown, uncut moquette. it formed part of the furniture of the manager's villa at the Stromness Whaling Station on South Georgia and was traditionally regarded as the suite sat on by Shackleton, Worsley and Crean after crossing the Island on 19 May 1916. It originally comprised seven items - a settee, two carvers and four dining chairs. See AAA3415 - AAA3420.
Condition poor, wood broken with parts missing, upholstery stained. The ornament on the top is loose. The left hand finial is missing. Pieces also missing from the arms and legs. Pieces of the veneer are missing and it is lifting elsewhere. Upholstery fair, joints fairly sound. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | Ernest Henry British Antarctic Survey Tom Frank Arthur Crean Shackleton settees Worsley | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
