History & Culture. The Resolute desk is a massive oak desk closely associated with presidents of the United States due to its prominent placement in the Oval Office. The desk arrived at the White House in November 1880, as a gift from Britain's Queen Victoria.
A third desk, or more accurately a writing table, was commissioned by Queen Victoria; it remains part of the Royal Collection and is on long-term loan to the Royal Naval Museum in Portsmouth. 1  The 2007 novel HMS Resolute by Elizabeth Matthews is about the discovery of Resolute by the whaler George Henry. 1  HMS Resolute's story is an integral clue in the plot of the film National Treasure: Book of Secrets.
