• Product Description

• A large wooden bowl on the coffee table in the Obama Oval office was perpetually filled with apples, promoting healthy eating habits for all. A handsome design element added during the 2009 makeover of the President’s West Wing office, the high-sided bowl had a striking presence on the otherwise bare table. Plainly visible in many Oval Office photographs, it was sometimes the subject of fun images that showed a lighter side of White House operations. Available now at the National Archives Store, this replica of that special, hand-turned, unique work is bound to gain attention no matter where it is placed. Like Obama's, this was made by artist George Peterson in North Carolina, from locally sourced non-endangered hardwood.
