The Queen Elizabeth's Linley Marquetry Panel Is Installed



Date set for Queen Elizabeth's naming ceremony



Queen Elizabeth II

The 2.5 deck high marquetry art panel has been installed by LINLEY's craftsmen, as final preparations are being made for delivering the new Queen Elizabeth to Cunard. Cunard's newest ship will sail to her home port of Southhampton, arriving on Friday 8th October. On Monday 11th October, she will be named by her royal namesake Her Majesty The Queen in a grand quayside ceremony.

  1. Hi Kim,
    I'm very pleased with how the panel has turned out, so many things could have gone wrong.
    Here are some final photo's of the Queen Elizabeth panel in situ, with the scaffolding removed.
    Thank you very much, its nice to have a site dedicated to marquetry and to see all the other pieces being done.
    Claire
