The frieze beneath is adorned with a beautifully carved floral margent that emanates from a basket overflowing with flowers, a hallmark of Normandy ebenistes. The upper section has rectangular doors that open on iron hinges, revealing two full-length shelves. There is only one shelf on the lower body, also behind a pair of rectangular doors.
