State Dining Room, Donald Trump Administration

This photograph of the State Dining Room was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on July 20, 2017, during the Donald Trump administration. The 1902 mahogany console table is one of three by A. H. Davenport historically seen in the State Dining Room. The double pedestal table is supported by two large, carved eagles at the base. An English pier mirror, ca. 1790, hangs above the table. The carved and gilded piece was donated to the White House Collection in 1946. The gilded brass candelabras atop the console table are from Tiffany & Company ca. 1880. First Lady Lucy Webb Hayes selected the pair for the State Dining Room, where they have historically been displayed. At center is a ca. 1817 bronze basket from French firm Denière et Matelin depicting the Three Graces, the Greek goddesses of beauty and charm.
