Lepidopterology: A rare 40 drawer Gurney oak and mahogany collectors cabinet containing part of the Sidney Imber Collection circa 1885 the hinged doors with brass makers plaque, T. Gurney, cabinet maker, Broadway, London Fields S.E. 123cm.; 48ins high by 106cm.; 42ins wide by 51cm.; 20ins deep. drawer size 46cm.; 18ins wide by 40cm.; 16ins deep by 5cm.; 2ins high The tropical collection is contained and displayed in this forty drawer oak and mahogany cabinet by, possibly the finest 19th century entomological cabinet maker, Thomas Gurney. Gurney cabinets are not common and this example in oak is most unusual. Mahogany was the standard but in this case the cabinet is in English oak with mahogany lined drawers faced in figured English oak. Gurney worked to fantastic levels of precision and the jointing and seals of the glazed drawer frames are second to none. The trademark ebony knobs are present and the typical Gurney unit construction of the inner cabinet compartments can be seen when the drawers are removed. Gurney's gilded plate is to the top of the inner side of the right-hand door.
