Historical Reproductions from American History
Are you looking for historical reproductions of something in American history? Have you ever seen photographs of something in the White House that you would just love to own? Maybe it was the H.M.S. Resolute Desk, the famous desk used by nearly every president since President Hayes.
The famous photograph of "John John" hiding under President Kennedy's desk probably made the Resolute desk even more famous than it was prior to that photo. An authentic reproduction of that desk can now be yours!
The perfect companion to the H.M.S. Resolute desk is the John F. Kennedy Oval Office Chair. JFK's chair was designed by the Gunlocke Company of Wayland, NY, using ergonomics to give Kennedy the support that he needed to ease his chronic back problems. But it also had to be beautiful enough to be used in the Oval Office. This chair is perfect for anybody who spends hours at a desk.
Maybe you've seen a photograph of President George Washington's writing desk - another popular reproduction from American history.
Of course, not everybody is looking for historical reproductions of furniture. You may be looking for a decor item that represents your love of American history. You might, as many do, love the Art Deco design of the famous Chrysler Building, located on 42nd Street at Lexington Avenue in New York City. Such an iconic building!
The Chrysler Building has been used as a backdrop for many, many movies over the years. It just may be the single most architecturally significant building in the New York City skyline. Designed by architect William Van Alen to house the Chrysler Corporation, the building was constructed in a fierce competition to build the world's tallest skyscraper. While it only held that record for a brief time (less than a year later the Empire State Building surpassed it in height), it remains to this day one of the most popular and important buildings in America, if not the world. You can own a beautiful 19-inch scaled replica of the Chrysler Building, cast in New York City of bonded marble.
