Franklin Delano Roosevelt placed an animal hide rug on the floor.
John F.
Kennedy, a World War II naval officer, hung seascapes on the walls.
And Barack Obama featured indigenous ceramics on the shelves.
But President Donald Trump has gone golden, taking the office into baroque and rococo realms typical of 17th- and 18th-century French monarchs.
