Crowned with an ancient temple structure and delicately inlayed with ebony, ivory, and mother-of-pearl, this cabinet is a masterpiece of the Greek revival style. Lawrence Alma-Tadema originally designed the piece as part of a furniture suite for the music room of Henry G. Marquand’s New York City mansion. A railroad magnate and founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Marquand conceived of the house as a series of rooms decorated in a range of historical styles, including a Moorish smoking room, a Japanese chamber, and an opulent Greek revival music room.84.101
