Description:
This solid wood Resolute Presidential Desk by Mahogany Millworks is a gorgeous replica of the famous desk used in the Oval Office of the White House. The original was presented to President Rutherford B. Hayes by Queen Victoria after the United States returned HMS Resolute, a British Arctic exploration ship that became trapped in the ice while searching for Rear Admiral John Franklin and the Northwest Passage.
Discovered drifting in 1855 by an American whaler, the ship was brought to Connecticut, later purchased by the U.S. government, restored, and returned to Britain in 1856. After HMS Resolute was retired, its timbers were used to build four desks, including the one gifted to President Hayes in 1880. It went on to be used by many U.S. Presidents in the Oval Office, including FDR, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump.
Our Resolute Presidential Desk is handcrafted from plantation-grown, certified legal mahogany and is available in a variety of finishes, with either a plain wood top or optional leather inlays.
