Decorate your home this holiday season with history and art. The 2006 White House Christmas ornament honoring the 21st president of the United States, Chester A. Arthur (1881-85), is fashioned after the period motifs and rich d'cor created for the White House by famed artist and decorator Louis Comfort Tiffany.
"Like all great houses, the White House reflected the tastes and interests of its occupants. Arthur's luxurious style was exemplified in Tiffany's showpiece'a unique large stained glass screen encrusted with glass jewels for the Entrance Hall," said Neil W. Horstman, president of the White House Historical Association.
All proceeds from the sale of the ornament, the 26th in a series, will be used for the preservation of the White House and the educational goals of the association.
