A Desk of US House of Representatives/1856

It has the same carving as the chair from an earlier post.

Good time to buy this since the market is soft.  Nice to see that they know who the desk was made for (or I should say who used it), which isn't always the case.

About two years ago I sold a labeled Horner library table to the 'Executive Office of The President' which was placed in the White House.  It was purchased by the US Government for a 1890's period restoration of the 'War Room' which was being undertaken at that time.  I am wondering if the US House of Representatives retained any of these desks / chairs for their own historical purposes or have purchased any after the fact from auctions or collectors.
