This oak panel, designed by Augustus Welby Pugin for the Palace of Westminster, demonstrates the architect's mastery of Gothic Revival style. The intricate carving, with its vertical ribs and pointed arches, echoes the architectural details of medieval buildings. The panel, which is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a reminder of Pugin's influence on Victorian architecture and design. The panel's simple, yet elegant design is a testament to the beauty of carved wood.
