Gothic Bench
Hand carved by:
W.B. Moses & Sons, Washington DC (1858-1937)
William Barnard Moses was one of the prominent furniture builders in the United States during that time. Even the Senate Reception Room, the most richly decorated spaces in the U.S. Capitol, is fitted out with elegant flemish oak benches custom-made by W.B. Moses in 1899.
Presidents who bought furniture for the White House from W.B. Moses included Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, Chester A. Arthur, Warren G. Harding, and Woodrow Wilson. Julia Grant was also a frequent patron.
A magnificent statement piece.
