China Room Table Settings and Holiday Decorations
This photograph of table settings in the China Room was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on November 20, 2018. The tables were set as part of the White House holiday decorations, with table settings used for State Dinners held during the Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Donald Trump administrations on display.
For their second holiday season in the White House, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump chose the theme "American Treasures" for their decor. "American Treasures" was inspired by the heart and spirit of America and featured White House holiday traditions such as the White House Gingerbread House, expanded this year to include replicas of major monuments in Washington, D.C. and the Capitol, the historic 18th-century Neapolitan crèche in the East Room, the Blue Room Christmas tree, and the Cranberry Tree in the Red Room.
