The chest is dressed with brass nail heads, a front leather handle, and a decorative triple lock mechanism on the facade. The inside is upholstered with white muslin fabric, and the facade is further embellished with a plaque of provenance which reads: "Fabrique d'Articles de Voyage, Maroquinerie, Pierre de Man, 44 rue du Marche, Lille"".
