This impressive upholstered armchair with dramatic lion head arms is reputed to have been
used among White House furnishings in the late 19th century (and perhaps later). The
chair’s unnamed previous owner suggested that this was originally a part of the Red Room
furnishings during the Grant administration, and a brass plaque on the font seat real reads:

Executive Mansion
President
William McKinley
COMR P.B. & G.
Colonel Theo. A. Bingham
