In 1935 Duncan Grant was commissioned to create a series of large panels, carpets, curtains and textiles for the First Class lounge on Cunard's Ocean Liner, The Queen Mary. Although originally accepted for the interior, the Chairmen and board of Directors turned down Grant's designs and they were never installed.
