The S.S. Leviathan - The Social Hall, Tea Room and Smoking Room - 1923 Brochure
Exquisite large photographs captured the superb elegance of the very popular Social Hal, the charming Tea-Room and the great steamship gathering place called the Smoking Room.
The Social Hall
This is a Louis XIV room with magnificent French Oak panelling. It is shown here in its winter dress with curtains of rich red, copied from an old French damask of the Louis XIV period.
Like all the other rooms of the Leviathan this one has decorations for both winter and summer. The summer curtains will be of the hand-blocked linen with bouquets taken from a famous Van Hueysen flower painting. There is also a magnificent lacquered screen, especially painted by Robert W. Chandler. The carpets were especially woven and copied from some of the most famous Persian rugs. This room is also distinguished by four exceptionally fine decorative pictures, which are in keeping with the spirit of the room and add greatly to its beauty.
