An English glazed walnut museum display cabinet,
removed from the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford,
the vitrine, rectangular in plan with a flat top and sloping sides with reeded glazing bars, raised on a moulded plinth; the cabinet accessed via a lift-out panel to one short end and a slide drawer on rails, incorporating a glazed mezzanine shelf to the interior,
This unusual cabinet has stood at the Pitt-Rivers Museum, Oxford in the main atrium for many years. There it contained a display of "Housing" - a model of a thatched building. It is discernible in a photograph of the museum interior dating to around 1900 - or at least it looks to be the same - the only cabinet of this format. It has been reglazed in its time at Oxford with modern glass.
