St George Cabinet, painted and gilded mahogany, pine, and oak, with copper mounts (1861–1862) The St George Cabinet is a famous collaboration between architect Philip Webb (1831–1915) and designer and painter William Morris (1834–1896). Created for the 1862 International Exhibition, Morris painted the scenes in the style of medieval bridal chests.

He used his wife, Jane Morris, as the model. His friends, painter Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898) and painter and poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882), also appeared as characters. To give the panels a rich glow, Morris layered tinted varnish over silver leaf. The cabinet remains a rare example of Morris working as a painter before he turned his focus to his famous wallpaper patterns. Loc. Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK. Dim. 111 cm H x 178 cm W x 43 cm D (43 3/4 x 70 1/8 x 16 7/8 in.).

The Backgammon Players

“This cabinet, one of several in which Morris enlisted the participation of Sir Edward Burne-Jones, is an attempt to erase the distinction between the fine and the applied arts... Philip Webb's straightforward design, however, which boldly displays the casework skeleton on the exterior, anticipated the emphasis on structural elements that would inform the design revolution of the next century.”
