The top has a flange at the front inscribed in gold lettering 'WATER-COLOURS by J.M.W.TURNER, R.A./Given by JOHN RUSKIN, 1861.'Mahogany with brass mounts, and ivory inlaid or applied plaques. Rectangular, standing on a low plinth. The top is hinged 22 cm from the back edge, and has a flange at the front which is inscribed in gold lettering: 'WATER-COLOURS by J.M.W. TURNER, R.A./Given by JOHN RUSKIN, 1861', below which is a key hole. When pushed up, the top is supported by a hinged brass prop and ratchet in the top of the right side of the carcase. The carcase contains five removable vertical cases with handles of leather-covered metal on the top. These are numbered on the front with inlaid circular ivory disks, numbered respectively 1 to 5 in black. Each has a metal alloy latch-type fastening lower down on the front. Each case contains five removable glazed oak frames for drawings, grooved at the top and bottom to fit into runners in the boxes. Some retain a leather tab by which they were drawn out of the box. They are numbered above the frames on the inside of the top of the case, on applied rectangular ivory plaques, originally numbered 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20, and 21-25. The first case has the number '1' on an rectangular ivory label at bottom right.
The gilding on the brass hinges is worn. The top of the cabinet is very badly scratched, particularly on the area behind the hinge. The following numbers are missing from above the frames: 1, 2, 10, 14, 15, 17-19, 21-25.

According to the author, the prototype for the cabinets was a double-sided library cupboard with four drawers above, and cupboards below with slots to hold picture frames, which had been made for the study of Ruskin's parents' third London home in Denmark Hill, and was later moved to Ruskin's study in Brantwood, where they remain. The entry also notes that the firm of cabinet-makers patronized by Ruskin was William and Edward Snell of 27 Albemarle Street.194-95referencepublication-4760adlib-publication-47600f4f043b-6f60-3004-bed2-16fc649e150fRuskin, Turner and the Pre-Raphaelitesreferenceterm-15214adlib-term-15214744af2c4-a2f2-37ad-bbf4-2cd00e91ed9bVictorianreferenceterm-117274adlib-term-11727467f61aaa-73f2-3f2e-9c18-515c3859d17bdrawing cabinetdrawing cabinetobject
