介绍（中）	这件工艺美术运动的早期杰作体现了威廉莫里斯和他的圈子为提高设计标准所做的合作努力。莫里斯认为，回归中世纪的生产原则，让优秀的艺术家创造功能性物品，可以帮助克服工业化的弊端。这个内阁是莫里斯争取爱德华·伯恩-琼斯爵士参与的几个内阁之一，试图消除美术和应用艺术之间的区别。带有打孔背景的皮革绘画本身就是工匠的媒介。尽管橱柜通常被描述为"中世纪风格"，但它实际上是莫里斯公司将标志着十九世纪后期大部分艺术的折衷主义转化为原始和现代风格的能力的生动例子。虽然伯恩-琼斯的绘画人物穿着中世纪服装，但大部分装饰的灵感同样是东方的。然而，菲利普·韦伯（Philip Webb）的直截了当的设计大胆地展示了外部的案例骨架，预见了对结构元素的强调，这些元素将为下个世纪的设计革命提供信息。
介绍（英）	This early masterpiece of the Arts and Crafts Movement exemplifies the collaborative endeavors of William Morris and his circle to improve design standards. Morris believed that a return to the principles of medieval production, with fine artists creating functional objects, could help overcome the evils of industrialization. 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. The painting on leather with a punched background is itself a craftsman's medium. Although the cabinet is usually described as in the "medieval style," it is actually a vivid example of the ability of the Morris firm to convert the eclecticism that marked much of the art of the late nineteenth century into an original and modern style. Although Burne-Jones's painted figures are in medieval costume much of the decoration is equally Oriental in inspiration. 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.
