The gilt bronze horse is by Herbert Haseltine, and is a model of one of the King's champion Shire horses. The large Walnut Cabinet on which are reproductions of the King's Despatch Boxes from the various Ministries, is one of a pair which contain 750 miniature water colours, etchings and drawings, contributed by the leading artists of the day.
