*This cabinet was Morel's last large commission, using high quality timber that he had acquired over time. This cabinet comes with some letters and drawings from Morel discussing how it was made, inlaid woods for the birds (Indian Laurel, Rosewood, Blackwood, Partridge Wood, Yew, Holly etc). In a letter he states, "I am grateful for the interest and the patience that I have received in the approx 12 months of its production. The piece was an attempt to undertake a major work at least equal in scope and technique and comparable to the Rodmarton Cabinet (1972 & 1973)
