メダル・キャビネット

Attributed to William Vile British
 Attributed to John Cobb British

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 512

135個の浅い引き出しのあるこのキャビネットは、6千枚以上の硬貨とメダルを収めることができ、おそらく「国王の大メダル・ケース」と呼ばれた大きな家具の両端の戸棚の片方だと考えられます(もう片方はロンドンの大英博物館に常設展示中)。この一対はウェールズ皇太子(1760年に国王ジョージ3世として即位)が注文したと考えられています。最上部の扉には、皇太子が1750年に授けられたガーター勲位を表す星の装飾があります。かつては脚付きの台座がありましたが、ヴァイルによって両方のキャビネットの脚の間を埋めるという大掛かりな修正が加えられています。
