The drawing of this impressively large armoire or cabinet was reproduced in the catalogue of the Great Exhibition of 1851, where the cabinet was on show. It was designed by Pugin for the Palace of Westminster. Pugin had arranged the Mediaeval Court in the Exhibition, and, unlike other sections, this court was displayed by style and not grouped by product nor by manufacturer. It is not known who the illustrator H. Michael was. The cabinet is now on display in the British Galleries
