The Old Senate Chamber in the United States Capital Building

The Old Senate Chamber is considered one of the oldest parts of the U.S. Capitol Building.. A curved table with richly turned and carved legs and a crimson modesty screen sits on a raised platform in the center of the room. This is the desk of the Vice President of the United States, who serves as President of the Senate. The desk is crowned as a place of importance by an elaborate canopy with a mahogany valence from which crimson fabric is hung. A carved gilt eagle and shield stand above the valence.
