This piece of furniture is distinguished by its rich marquetry decoration featuring floral motifs and scrolls, displayed across the entire front as well as on the drop front, with a symmetrically composed design of great finesse. The drop front reveals a remarkable interior including: several small curved side drawers, also marquetried, a leather-covered writing flap, and a small central door decorated with numerous storage compartments.
