EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Secretaire cabinet, crafted from the timbers of the historic British Arctic exploration vessel RRS Resolute, is a testament to the rich history and enduring legacy of exploration and discovery. The RRS Resolute, commissioned by Queen Victoria in 1852, was sent on a mission to find the lost Franklin Expedition in the Arctic. After getting stuck in the ice and drifting towards Greenland, the crew was eventually rescued by a US relief expedition in 1854. The abandoned ship was later discovered by a whaling crew in 1856, who found the vessel's logs detailing the harrowing experiences of the crew. The timbers used to create this Secretaire were salvaged from the RRS Resolute and were carefully selected for their unique character and history. Each piece of wood carries with it the stories of the brave men who sailed on the ship and the harsh Arctic conditions they endured. The cabinet's intricate design, inspired by the Victorian era, adds an elegant and timeless touch to the piece. This Secretaire was presented as a gift to the United States by Queen Victoria in 1856, as a token of gratitude for the rescue of the RRS Resolute's crew. It was later acquired by President James Buchanan and has been a part of the White House collection ever since. The cabinet now resides in the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History, where it continues to inspire awe and fascination among visitors. The Secretaire made from the timbers of the British Arctic ship RRS Resolute is not only a beautiful piece of furniture but also a priceless historical artifact, reminding us of the incredible stories of exploration and survival from the past.
