Vermeil Room, Historic reception room at the White House, United States
The Vermeil Room displays a collection of 1,575 silver-gilt tableware pieces on the ground floor of the White House in Washington, D.C.
Margaret Thompson Biddle donated her extensive vermeil collection to the White House in 1956, transforming the former staff bedroom into this dedicated display space.
The room exhibits portraits of First Ladies, including Jackie Kennedy and Eleanor Roosevelt, alongside Georgian-style architectural elements and Federal period furniture.
The chamber maintains a temperature-controlled environment to preserve its collection of silver-gilt objects and serves as a formal sitting area during White House events.
Each piece in the vermeil collection represents different periods of craftsmanship, from Renaissance designs to 19th-century French and English metalwork.
