The frame is decorated with a series of original oil paintings on wooden panels, in excellent condition. The scenes depict mythological motifs centered on the figure of Cupid, executed with great delicacy and chromatic richness. The decorative handles and side plates, made of solid silver, stand out, reinforcing the luxurious and exclusive character of the piece. The cabinet retains its original key, which opens both the central doors and the lower drawer. The top cover has no lock. Inside, a small door is hidden, revealing an architectural scene: a perspective room with a geometric floor, columns, and mirrored walls, evoking the visual effects and taste for scenography of the period.
