Specialist note

The cabinet bears the stamp of the celebrated Dublin cabinetmaker James Hicks and Sons of 5 and 6 Lower Pembroke Street. Hicks' letter-head described him as 'Cabinet-maker, collector and restorer of Chippendale, Adams, and Sheraton furniture', and his firm emulated and transcribed the unique style of late 18th century Irish cabinet-making.
