Armário medalheiro

Attributed to William Vile British
Attributed to John Cobb British
1760–61
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 512
Este armário medalheiro, com cento e trinta e cinco gavetas pouco profundas que podem guardar mais de seis mil moedas e medalhas, é um dos dois armários que provavelmente formavam as extremidades de uma peça de mobiliário de grandes dimensões, chamado de “Grande Medagliere de Sua Majestade”. ( A outra peça está agora no Museu Britânico, em Londres). Ao que parece, ambos os móveis foram encomendados por George, príncipe de Gales, coroado rei George III em 1760. A porta da parte superior é decorada com a estrela da Ordem da Jarreteira, que o príncipe de Gales havia recebido em 1750. William Vile reformou ambos os móveis, em particular fechando o espaço entre os pés das bases, que estava originalmente aberto.
