Rectangular table or desk cabinet with the four protruding rectangle corners and a finial that protrudes from an openwork railing, forming an architectural composition and ending in a gilded bronze child figure. The four corners of the furniture present semicircular arches with twisted columns of gilded bronze, sheltering bronze female figures in a dancing attitude, with other children's figures on top. In addition to a series of gilded bronze applications spread throughout the furniture, there are a series of hand-painted enamel plates with mythological scenes in pastel tones. Two doors on the front give access to three interior drawers, with handles and decorations of enamel plates with landscapes. Note that the doors are also decorated with scenes inside.
