In this photograph, taken by Robert L. Knudsen on December 8, 1972, workmen decorate the chandelier in the Cross Hall for the holiday season. In 1972, First Lady Pat Nixon's holiday decorations drew inspiration from two White House collection paintings by Severin Roesen: "Still Life with Fruit" and "Nature's Bounty." Many of the garlands used to decorate the White House that year, including the one seen here being applied to the Cross Hall chandelier, were entwined with rustic details such as fruit and pinecones.

This photograph of the Blue Room was taken by Matthew D'Agostino on February 10, 2014 during the Barack Obama administration. The Blue Room is located on the State Floor of the Executive Mansion. The oval-shaped parlor has been known as the Blue Room since Martin Van Buren’s 1837 redecoration. The room is often used for receptions, photo opportunities, and during the holiday season is home to the official White House Christmas Tree. This photograph was taken during a press preview held that day to showcase the decor and menu ahead of a State Dinner hosted by President Obama for President François Hollande of the French Republic, including a look at the French influences in the White House rooms and fine and decorative arts in the White House Collection.

This cut glass and gilded brass chandelier was made by Christoph Palme & Co. of Parchen, Bohemia (Austria-Hungary) for Edward F. Caldwell & Co. of New York, which was a prominent lighting design firm that supplied electric lighting fixtures to the White House in 1902. This one was one of three purchased for the East Room, which were later shortened and modified in 1952. Each chandelier consists of 6,000 pieces of glass and weighs about 1,200 pounds.

This cut-glass and gilded metal chandelier by William Parker of London is one of a pair and was among several English chandeliers donated to the White House in the 1940s.
