Texture: On a ferry in the Virgin Islands

Not sure if others would agree, but I thought the reflection and rust areas on the floor of this ferry-boat resulted in an exquisite surface.  Imagine if this were reinterpreted in a silk.

click to see detail - image from 1stdibs.com

this complete bedroom set used all together would make for a very kitch space. i would be more inclined to mix just 1 or 2 of these pieces with other items. since it would be a shame to break up the set, i'm thinking that a set designer could make good use of this.  somone with a sizable budget and a need to recreate the look of an era down to every small detail.

description on 1st Dibs:

"7 Piece DONALD DESKEY Bedroom Set for Widdicomb...Designed in the early 1930's This is a very rare version offered in Green and a whitewashed Burled maple. Refinished to original Condition, with much detail paid to matching the original colors. Two large mirrors with Chrome accents. Tall Boy, Low Dresser Desk, pair matched nightstands, and two mirrors.
