Mueble medallero

Attributed to William Vile British
 Attributed to John Cobb British

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 512

Este mueble medallero, con ciento treinta y cinco cajones poco profundos que pueden alojar más de seis mil monedas y medallas, y su pareja (hoy en el British Museum de Londres) probablemente formaban las secciones laterales de un mueble más grande llamado el Gran Medallero de Su Majestad, hecho para Jorge, príncipe de Gales, coronado rey Jorge III en 1760. La puerta de la sección superior está tallada con la estrella de la Orden de la Jarretera, que el príncipe de Gales había recibido en 1750. William Vile reformó ambos muebles, cerrando el espacio entre las patas de las bases que estaba originalmente abierto.
