1.  A Ruby Deck cabin in the 1960s.  Peter Knego collection. 2.  Thonet tag on the underside of a matching chair.  Photo and copyright Peter Knego 2005. 3.  A cabin in 1997.  Photo and copyright Peter Knego 1997.

Thonet or Thonet Industries manufactured these particular ottomans for Gustavo Pulitzer Finale in 1959.  Their original colors were vivid, most likely to match the colors given to each cabin on the ship's color coded decks:  Ruby, Emerald, Topaz, Sapphire, etc.  At some point, most likely in the Chandris era, they were recovered in a nondescript gray/tan upholstery.

If these lovely little creatures look familiar, it is because they inspired the MidShipCentury logo. All one needs is a multi-colored EUGENIO C to place on top!  Extremely limited supply.
