Another set over the central lock plate has been replaced by a modern substitute. The external inlay is in plain rectangular patterns; the inside has figures representing virtues and vices, fairly designed. The lock plate is of pierced metal, of a bookbinder’s design. The drawer locks have similar mounts, reproductions, the originals having been loft or broken. They are laid over red cloth, which has, probably, replaced red velvet.
