Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | This medal cabinet was originally part of the 'Grand Medal Case'. The large cabinet was supplied to George III in 1760-1761 to house his large and famous collection of medals. It was almost certainly made by the partnership of William Vile and John Cobb. They were best known for very fine carved decoration as ornament. When George IV gave his father's collection to the British Museum in 1825, the medals were transferred to more workaday cabinets. It was probably then that two smaller cabinets were made from the ends of the large one. The pair to this one is in the Metropolitan Museum, New York. No one knows what the middle section of the cabinet looked like or whether it survives. On loan to the British Museum. |
