Drawing-room sideboard, by Morant, Boyd, and Morant, in the International Exhibition, 1862. 'The shelf is sustained by eight richly-carved legs...The back above the board is of graceful outline, and...consists of a white framework bordered with gold, and of a rich ornamental gold filling of an open character shown up by purple velvet of great richness, surround the arms of the Earl of Ellesmere for whom it has been manufactured. Each leg is terminated above in a lion's head, and below is a lion's paw, and has hung around it a festoon of flowers, which is so treated that the parts are in little danger of being broken off...The chimeras, fruits, mouldings &c. are chiefly matted, but the gold is burnished at points, in order to impart brilliancy'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
