Set/3 White House Christmas Ornaments: 1998, 2013 & 2014

Description: Set/3 White House Historical Association ornaments. These yearly ornaments were created for 1998, 2013 and 2014. James Buchannen, the 15th President (1857 - 1861), is commemorated with the 1998 ornament. Its design borrows from the romantic garlands and wreaths that decorated the House during his administration. The American eagle flies on the Union shield, insignia from Andrew Jackson's dinner service, which Buchanan used in the White House. The 2013 ornament honors Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President (1913 - 1921). He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019. The centerpiece of the ornament is an American Elm tree planted by President Wilson on the North Lawn of the White House on December 8, 1913. The snowy scene is surrounded by a 23-Karat gold-plated frame comprised of elm leaves on the innermost circle, a wreath of olive branches in the middle, and holly leaves bordering Wilson's monogram on the outermost circle. Two peace doves perch upon the olive branches. Words inscribed on the revers side of the ornament were delivered by President Wilson in his War Message to Congress of April 2, 1917. The 2014 ornament honors the administration of Warren G. Harding (2021 - 2023). As a young boy he had dreamed of being a railroad engineer and his wish came true when he took over the controls on the Alaskan railroad during his famous transcontinental speaking and sightseeing tour, the "Voyage of Understanding". Decorated with gold tones and enamel finishes, the 34th annual White House ornament is a detailed miniature replica of a steam-powerd locomotive and the private Pullman car. All three in original boxes with detailed descriptive paperwork included.
