InscriptionsAnno 1867HistoryWhen fire at the St Kilda Road Campus in 1989 destroyed much of the Archives, one extraordinary object that survived was Adamson’s great carved sideboard. Believed to have been carved in 1867 by a Flemish artist named Snutzel and supposedly exhibited at the Paris Exhibition in the same year, the fire-damaged sideboard was restored, with conservation funded by a generous former student. Today it graces the Cato Room at the St Kilda Road Campus.Collection typeObjectSubject TermsSideboard, BelgianMakers DetailsSnutzelCategoryObjects
