| Marks and inscriptions | Inscribed 'Long Cabinet No.1'; (referring to the string course) 'a squeeze for this'; (referring to the top part of the central muntin) 'I will send a squeeze for this'; (referring to the centre of the cabinet, which is open behind a metal screen) 'fitted up with shelving / for Books'; 'Brasswork' and with details identified; signed and dated 'AW Pugin [in monogram] / 1850'. |
| Object history | The design shown is in all essentials that executed: an ornate carved wooden frame with cupboards to either side of the centre which is open behind a metalwork screen. From this drawing it seems that the central part was intended for books. There are, however, no shelves in the cabinet today. |
