Royal Connections for QE Art work

In the Grand Lobby there is a piece of stunning wooden artwork, inspired by the Art deco period and designed and created by Lord Lindley who is now the Queens Nephew, the son of the late Princess Margaret and the Earl of Snowdon, Anthony Armstrong- Jones.


Lord Lindley is considered to be one of the masters in his field of modern day art and as the Ship is considered to be the Buckingham Palace at sea and would be only fitting that he would be responsible for this amazing piece of art work. The piece is over 18ft high and spread over more than two decks, and the largest piece of work he has done.

The high imagery of the first Queen Elizabeth’s Bow which sailed from 1938 to 1968 is made from multiple woods depict the evocative image of the former liner is madrona, Indian ebony, American walnut, grey ripple sycamore, burr ash, bird’s eye maple, satin walnut, ash, burr walnut, and Macassar ebony.
