Image description

A gilded wooden cartouche depicting King William III's cypher. The cypher is made from two planks of wood, carved separately and then glued together and finished to look like a single piece. This method of gluing pieces one atop the other was a well-used trick of master carver Grinling Gibbons. The cypher may have been used on a now lost temporary garden structure or even on a carriage. William III and Mary II were joint rulers and the fact that this cypher is of William only, suggests that it dates to after Mary's death in 1694
