Grace Coolidge Collection of Five Items

Collection of five items owned by Grace Coolidge. Items are: a 3.25″ tall camel-shaped perfume bottle; a pair of decorative porcelain birds kept in the Coolidge’s bedroom; an 8″ tall doll that was kept on the Lincoln bed in the White House at times; a peacock-blue veil, approximately 21 x 65.5, worn by Grace Coolidge; and a large wicker basket, approximately 18″ tall, which occasionally held personal items of the Coolidges. Each item is accompanied by a detailed 1982 letter of provenance on White House letterhead, by Lillian Rogers Parks, who was a best selling author as well as housekeeper and seamstress at the White House for over 30 years, from President Hoover through President Eisenhower. An enticing First Lady assemblage.
