Carpet
To maintain the historical integrity of the chamber during the renovation, the carpeting was replaced with Exminster wool carpeting from England. While the type of wool matches the original chamber carpeting, a pattern was added to highlight the effect of the floor covering in the room.

Produced in three pieces, the chamber floor carpet is an olive green in background, on which large circular designs remindful of the interior of the Senate dome are woven at regularly spaced intervals.

The upper gallery carpeting (bottom right) is a slightly darker green in background color and is punctuated with clusters of four white petals, which are found on Missouri's state tree, the flowering Dogwood.
