walnut, with fine chequer sycamore and ebony inlay and adjustable shelved interior, stamped BARNSLEY
Provenance:
Commissioned from Edward Barnsley by Anthony Minoprio
John Minoprio
Note: Writing to Anthony Minoprio in April 1979 Edward Barnsley discusses the costs for a new china cabinet for his client and comments "Example taken from 1952, when we made your Boot & Shoe cabinet, is not without interest. If a repeat was made in near future it would work out in the region of £2000 as compared with £161.10."
