Plaque reads: 'The collection from Virginia presented to Mrs. Hope for the Eleanor Hope Cupboard'. A '...charming Elizabethan oak livery cupboard decorated with carving and geometrical and herring-bone inlay in holly and bog oak - an out-standing specimen of English furniture of its period. This livery cupboard out of which, as its name implies, food was served (livre), now forms a receptacle for a collection of Washington relics and small pieces of old American silver-work. It is known as the Eleanor Hope Cupboard, after the name of the donor, the contents being given specially for it by various residents in Virginia.'
