Description
English: First Class Verandah Café on the 'Empress of Asia' (1913)

Interior of the passenger liner 'Empress of Asia' (1913) showing the First Class Verandah Café, on the Promenade Deck; a view looking across to the starboard side, with an opening in the sliding doors admitting light to the foreground.

The First Class Verandah Café was finished in half-timber work consistent with the style of decoration in the First Class Smoking Room. The bay between the two compartments was inspired by an oak and leaded glass facade in the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. This came from the house Sir Paul Pindar erected in the Bishopsgate area of London circa 1600.

The main public rooms on the 'Empress of Asia' were designed by the architect George Abraham Crawley (1864-1926). Crawley also designed interiors for her sistership ‘Empress of Russia’ (1913).
