Hi all.
I am researching a table which bears a plaque stating it was from the 1st class lounge of the S.S Ascania.
Very art deco looking so I presume the second liner of that name.

What I really need are photos of the lounge which may show the table.

Is there an easy way to post photos of the table?

The label says.

S.S " Ascania"
1st Class Lounge
Wm. Mason & Son., Leeds


Thank you
