Each cabinet has a useful frieze drawer above a pair of cupboard doors, with oval panels that have striking hand-painted decoration of urns of flowers, in the manner of Angelica Kauffman.

Angelica Kauffman (1741 – 1807) was a Swiss-born Austrian Neoclassical painter who had a successful career in London and Rome. While Kauffman produced many types of art, she identified herself primarily as a history painter, an unusual designation for a female artist in the 18th century. The works of Angelica Kauffman have retained their reputation. By 1911, rooms decorated with her work were still to be seen in various quarters.
