One of the most well-known features of Titanic was its seven-level forward first-class staircase, commonly referred to as the Grand Staircase, spanning five levels and more than 60 feet from its lower landing to the dome of the glass skylight, which crowned the masterpiece.
Made of oak, the staircase was decorated in 17th-century William and Mary style, with gold-plated, wrought iron railings and hand-carved newel posts. The staircase landing of the A Deck featured a clock depicting "Honour and Glory Crowing Time" and a bronze cherub holding an illuminated torch. The other landings all featured oil paintings. |
