This cabinet was designed and produced by Scottish based craftsman Angus Ross in 1999. He was commissioned by The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum to build a museum quality cabinet to display their costume and textile collection. The cabinet has since been fitted to function as a tall boy chest of drawers. The doors are intricately veneered with burr maple marquetry arranged in a sunburst pattern around the oval porthole. Visible through the porthole are two solid oak drawers with vertically recessed drawer pulls creating a surreal stepped perspective. There is a wave shape cut from the bottom of the doors which also reveals the oak drawer behind, contributing to the absurdist nature of the design. Behind the doors are 9 drawers of varying heights.

Angus Ross is a designer, craftsman and woodsman. He combines ancient, traditional and modern woodwork techniques and is particularly known for steam-bending. His studio-workshop is in Highland Perthshire and he sources timber from a local bluebell wood which is co-owned and managed by Angus to improve: bio-diversity; the long-term quality of the timber; and amenity use of the woodland by others.

His furniture is found in the Scottish Design Gallery of V&A Dundee, Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, Cheltenham Museum and widely published including Craft Britain:Why Making Matters, Helen Chislett and David Linley 2022. He is in the Homo Faber Guide : an international collection of the best craft and design by the Michaelangelo Foundation for Creativity and Craftsmanship, widely exhibited at international craft fairs including: COLLECT, London; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Decorex, London Craft Weeks, London Design Festival and is a selected maker for the Crafts Council and CraftScotland.
