I found a great ad from 1957 for a desk from the same collection.  The ad was designed by Edward Lehman, who was a well respected artist and illustrator, and who I just realized lived very close to where I grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania and was a favorite of Jacqueline Kennedy....

During the time the White House was redecorated under Jacqueline Kennedy, she ordered prints of a Lehman painting of the newly restored Green Room to be given as the Kennedys' 1963 Christmas gift to the White House staff. After the President's assassination in November, she had the prints delivered to staff members with a note thanking them for their "untiring devotion."
