Description: Walnut on oak and softwood, gilded bronze
The symmetrical “mirror” veneered surfaces of its body are framed by ribbon and thread inlays. The two-door top is crowned by a round-arched, fluted pediment with a fine profile. The body is vertically structured by pilaster strips that stand out from a slight sweep. The interior of the top is characterized by a rich structure, which is based on architectural models with pilasters in front and cranked cornices. The central compartment, closed off by a hinged door, is flanked by a staggered arrangement of four drawers. Inside there is a shelf with rows of drawers behind it. The writing section, which protrudes in an elegant sweep over a circumferential cornice, is set into the top panel of the chest of drawers and rests on a fluted base
