The International Exhibition: Jackson and Grahams cabinet, 1862. The cabinet which we engrave is a work to which we called attention in our article on furniture as beautiful in design and exquisitely finished. It is one of those works which administers to the exaltation of British furniture and beautifies the court in which it is placed. It is formed of ebony, inlaid with ivory; but its chief enrichments are of bronze, highly chased and gilt; and these are of the most refined character, are wrought with much artistic feeling, and in execution are almost perfect. The central portion of the cabinet is inclosed by doors hearing medallions of hymeneal subjects, also, of bronze, gilt and chased; and the corners are rounded and open. The plinth, columns, and frieze are all enriched with metallic ornaments, and the top consists of a slab of the finest Algerian onyx. This cabinet is in the style of Louis XVI., and is a most successful example of the work of this period in its purest and best form. Its peculiar characteristic is elegance and refinement; and, owing to these qualities, it does its originator great credit and manifests much skill on the part of the workmen who produced it. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
