Red Room, Louis Comfort Tiffany Decor

This black and white photograph of the Red Room was taken around 1884-1885, during the Chester A. Arthur or Grover Cleveland administration. In 1882, President Arthur commissioned designer Louis Comfort Tiffany to redecorate a number of the rooms on the State Floor, including the Red Room. Comfort's redesign of the Red Room was decorated inline with the Aesthetic movement of the 19th century.
