President John F. and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy’s White House Bedroom Chairs

About the Item

The Louis XVI Style chairs, painted in Cream and Robin's Egg Blue and covered in their original upholstery. First used by the Kennedys at their Georgetown house (at least 1 photo shows Jackie seated in one at her desk). Possibly acquired through their decorator Sister Parish. Original photos from the JFK Library show the chairs to have been placed in 2 areas of the Kennedy's White House bedroom. The chairs were then kept by Mrs. Kennedy for her personal use and then sold to the current owner in 1996. *White House Photos: ROBERT KNUDSEN/COURTESY JFK PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM, BOSTON
