This
is a section oak parquet flooring from Olympic's second-class
library. It was originally manufactured by Venesta
Ltd. and fittingly called "Venesta Parquet Flooring."
It was found when the carpeting was removed. The brass
plate reads, "The Timbers of R.M.S. Olympic 1911
- 1935."
The
flooring was from lot 3819 as noted
in Catalogue of Messrs. Knight, Frank & Rutley's
sale of the R.M.S. Olympic at Jarrow Docks, November
15, 1935. It was purchased by Smith and Walton paint
makers and installed in Akzo Nobel Paint works in
Haltwhistle.
