<P> The aft grand staircase was torn apart as the Titanic broke up, being at or just aft of the point of rupture . Much of the wood and other debris found floating after the sinking is thought to have come from the aft staircase . </P> <P> There are no known photographs of the Titanic's staircase, but many survive of the Olympic's, which is presumed to have been similar . In 1990 a huge trove of woodwork from the Olympic was found in a barn in the North of England, much of it belonging to the Grand Staircase . These pieces retained the Avocado green color they had been painted in the 1932 refit, and included large amounts of wall paneling, carved newel posts, window frames, cornice - work, and doors . Portions of the oak banisters from the Aft Grand Staircase grace the staircase of the White Swan Hotel in Alnwick, England . The chandeliers which once hung from the ceilings of the Staircase occasionally come up for auction - 16 were auctioned from the Haltwhistle Paint Factory in 2004 . This auction also included the Olympic's four landscape oil paintings from the B, C, D and E-Deck landings, along with the communicating doors from the two Boat - Deck entry vestibules . </P> <P> The carved clock of the Olympic, believed to be identical to the one on Titanic, is displayed at the SeaCity Museum in Southampton . This clock was used as the model for the one in Cameron's film . </P> <P> Wreckage from the Titanic's aft and forward Grand Staircases, recovered in the weeks after the sinking, can be seen at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax . This includes an elaborately carved section of newel post from the aft staircase and pieces of oak handrail . There are also re-purposed items made from woodwork recovered from the Titanic, including a rolling pin and cribbage board, which very likely came from the Grand Staircase . Two bronze cherubs and the base of the forward A-Deck cherub have been recovered from the debris floor over the years . Fragments of the wrought - iron dome from the Aft Grand Staircase have also been identified in the debris field . Ken Marschall attested to spotting at least 9 pieces of the wrought iron and gilt balustrades from the staircases in the debris field from the 1986 Woods Hole expedition, though no photographs have ever been taken . </P>
