The marble top sits over three shaped drawers embellished with ornate Rococo style cast brass handles and escutcheons, each drawer having floral marquetry inlaid panels of extremely high quality with a shaped apron below and central mount.
The shaped sides having impressive Rococo style mounts to each front corner and large floral marquetry inlaid bombe sides with the whole being raised on shaped splay legs terminating on front sabots.

The marquetry panels are very decorative, fine and perfectly proportioned to the piece, also with ample storage having three long drawers all lockable as the original key is supplied.
