This is an extremely rare example of English cabinet making during the Adam period. It is unique in its shallow proportions, being made specifically to order. . The cabinet bears all the hallmarks in its quality and Architectural design that may be attributed to a number of eminent makers including Messrs. Ince & Mayhew who, so it is recorded, worked consistently at Burghley during the latter half of the 18th century. Research continues.
