勋章柜

Attributed to William Vile British
Attributed to John Cobb British

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 512

这个勋章柜有135 个浅抽屉,可容纳超过六千枚硬币和勋章,它和另一个陈列柜一起,可能曾是一组名为“陛下的伟大勋章柜”的大型家具的两端。(与其匹配的柜子如今在伦敦大英博物馆展出。)这对柜子看来是威尔士亲王乔治委托制作的,他在1760年登基成为乔治三世;顶部的柜门上刻有嘉德勋章的星形图案,这位威尔士亲王曾于1750年获此殊荣。两个柜子下方原本都有开放式支座。威廉·维莱对两个柜子都作了修改,最大的改动就是将支座中的空间填满了。
