The Tribune's cabinet was originally designed in the classical style by Walpole for his Georgian House in Arlington Street. It is described in the Strawberry Hill Sale Catalogue as follows, "On the pediment are three statues in ivory of Palladio, Inigo Jones and Fiamingo, carved by Verskovis after the models of Rysbrack; in the pediment, the Walpole Arms are displayed supported by a Cupid and a Lion, with a relief of Flowers, Eagles' Heads with festoons of Flowers forming the base, all carved by Verskovis; the doors enriched with 18 splendid carvings in ivory, by Gibbons, Pozzo, and other celebrated artists."
