On the wall at the top of the stairs, was a carved oak clock depicting two figures known as 'Honor and Glory Crowning Time'.
At the center of the dome hung a large gilt metal framed chandelier with glass-bead panels and cut glass. Giving off a constant white glow no matter what time of day. The dome let in natural sunlight during the day, and was lit up by electric lights that were hidden behind the wooden molding at night. The staircase spans six decks and is topped with a dome of white glass and wrought iron.
Behind it were three elevators for those that chose to ride. The centerpiece of Titanic was the First Class Forward Grand Staircase with its graceful sweep of paneled and carved oak surfaces, accented with wrought iron and polished brass.
