Resin Miniature Replica Titantic Nantucket Teak 1st Class Deckchair Take a Seat by Raine Towel Book Collectible Hobby Art Great for Gift
This Dollhouse Miniatures item by AnimalHouseMinis has 15 favorites from Etsy shoppers. Ships from United States. Listed on Feb 22, 2025. I am offering a vintage (1990) Take a Seat by Raine. The resin desk chair is a replica of the Titanic Teak Nantucket 1st Class deck chair. The original was one of a handful of deckchairs recovered from the Titanic. The Nantucket teak deck chair was on the first class promenade deck of the luxury liner when it sank in 1912. Auctioneer Andrew Aldridge said it was one of the rarest types of Titanic collectable which came with extensive paperwork to prove its provenance. The original chair, which is too delicate to sit on but which has been carefully preserved was sold at auction for $133,000.00. The deckchair was picked up by the crew of the Mackay-Bennett ship which was sent to rescue victims after the Titanic sank. According to the ship’s log records, it was one of six or seven taken back to port in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I am offering a piece of history but in 1:12 scale. The resin collectible deck chair is 2.5 x 4.5 x 1.75 inches. This would be a nice piece for a curio cabinet, dollhouse deck or patio, room box action figure scene for 5 to 6 inches dolls or as a gift of miniature historic furniture. There is a star on the chair representing the Star Line.
