Johnson desk

The Johnson desk is a mahoganypartners desk that was used by U.S. presidentLyndon B. Johnson in the Oval Office as his Oval Office desk. One of only six desks used by a president in the Oval Office, it was designed by Thomas D. Wadelton and built in 1909 by S. Karpen and Bros. in Chicago. The desk was built as part of 125 seven-piece office sets for senators' offices in the Russell Senate Office Building. Each pedestal of the desk contains two writing slides, three drawers, a hinged door cabinet, and sits on four bun feet. This desk was used by Johnson during his terms as U.S. senator, vice president, and president. Following Johnson's presidency, the desk was relocated to the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum as part of a replica Oval Office.
