    This oversize Renaissance Revival walnut sofa is part of a suite made by Pottier Stymus Manufacturing Co. of New York for President Ulysses Grant's Cabinet Room in 1869. A shield, likely inspired by the shield from the Great Seal of the United States, is carved on the crest. Unlike the shield on the official seal, this shield has three five-pointed stars carved into the chief. Until the construction of the West Wing in 1902, the Cabinet Room was on the east end of the second floor in the Executive Mansion.
