專家說明

Chinnery states that this cabinet is the best example of 'Laudian' furniture now extant. It is almost identical to a cabinet in cedar at Arbury Hall, Warwickshire which was made for William Laud when Bishop of London. Whilst Archbishop of Canterbury (1633-40) Laud commissioned various items for Lambeth Palace and his college, St John's Oxford. The framed cartouche is the most distinctive element of the designs. Laud was executed in 1645.
