This idiosyncratic work of art possibly corresponds to either 'An Or molu Jewel Stand with glass Shade' in the 'State Bow Drawing room' (p. 15), or 'A Glass case Jewel stand with shelf and Gallery Gilt Lock & key' in the 'Third Drawing Room' (p. 24) in 'An Inventory and Valuation of the Household Furniture... the property of His Grace The late Duke of Leeds... Hornby Castle, Yorkshire' dated September 1838. While its original function is unclear, it is conceivable that by the 1830s it had been appropriated as a table-top vitrine.
