On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 512

Этот шкаф для медалей с 135 ящиками, вмещающий свыше шести тысяч монет и медалей, — один из двух шкафов, завершающих крупный мебельный ансамбль, именуемый Большим шкафом для медалей Его Величества (второй такой шкаф сейчас находится в Британском музее в Лондоне). Эти два предмета предположительно были выполнены по заказу Георга, Принца Уэльского, нареченного Королем Георгом III на коронации в 1760 г. Дверь верхней секции украшена резной звездой Ордена Подвязки, главой которого Принц Уэльский был избран в 1750 г. Изначально эти шкафы размещались на открытых подпорках. Уильям Вайл видоизменил их, заполнив пространство между ножками.
