Description: Rosewood veneer on softwood and oak.
The body, defined by its linear lines, is divided at the front by two double doors. Their upper halves feature open inner panels framed by rosewood veneer fillets, the upper edges of which correspond to the contour of the curved cornice. These openings are delicately framed by a wire mesh.
The lower halves of the double doors each feature an elaborate, mirror-image rosewood veneer. These are accentuated by marquetry rosettes in the corners. The body is framed on the outside by slanted pilaster strips that taper to gentle curves.
A cut-out, multi-curved frame rests on short, slightly curved feet.
