| Place of origin |
Elevation of sideboard in the dining room. It is a tripartite design. with three four-centred arches divided by panels traceried with Perpendicular details. There is a superstructure which is similarly divided into three parts: over the centre part of the sideboard is a large mirror, framed by a projecting four-centred arch and panels decorated with tracery, and flanked my narrow arches with ogee crocketed heads backed my mirrors. Above the central arch two kneeling angels hold up the Royal Arms. The design originally extended about 35 mm. further to either side, but blank strips of paper mask these parts of the drawing. Scale given on mount.
