Edward William Godwin (attributed). An oak hanging bookcase, with portrait medallion roundels in moulded vulcanite, 94cm high, 51cm wide, 15cm deep. This cabinet has some design features associated with Godwin's work. The tops are quite similar to the bookcases he designed for Dromore Castle, see Soros, Susan Weber 'The Secular Furniture of E.W. Godwin', p. 191, illus. 311.111 and a design for a buffet, p. 222, illus. 356 and in the left-hand corner of a line drawing for parlour furniture, p. 230, illus. 374.1. The elongated bottoms are a similar detail to hanging cabinets he also designed.
