Have you seen these amazing tulip poplar benches, bowls and tables? These one-of-a-kind pieces are a brilliant feature with such a unique piece of history - made from Tulip Poplar trees that once flanked Monticello's West Lawn Portico.

The two towering Tulip Poplars on either side of Monticello’s lawn portico captivated visitors for generations. In 2008, the southwest tree, weakened by age and disease, failed to leaf out and was removed for safety. Three years later, the northwest tree was also taken down, as its massive lean toward the house posed a risk and it showed signs of the same root disease. A trunk cross-section dated the northwest tree to 1808, aligning with Jefferson’s 1807 Garden Book entry noting the planting of tulip poplars. Believed to be sister trees, they had long sheltered the house. Wood from the northwest tree—used for bowls, benches, and tables—shows remarkable density and character, shaped by its age, the soil, and even remnants of lightning rods and cabling.

The original, designed by Jefferson himself, is currently on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

In collaboration with the Smithsonian, Monticello worked with Virginia craftsman Owen Suter to reproduce 100 desks. Like the original, it’s made in the U.S.A. of solid mahogany.
