Armchairs picked out by Jacqueline Kennedy and silverware used by Ronald Reagan will go on display Saturday at the Smithsonian American Art Museum’s Renwick Gallery in an exhibition of decorative objects from the White House. “Something of Splendor: Decorative Arts from the White House” is running from Oct. 1, 2011 to May 6, 2012.
