It opens in front of two drawers on two rows with hidden crossbars. This chest of drawers from the 18th century is beautifully inlaid with cubes without bottoms called "Oeben", cloisonné in double frames of fillets on a background of amaranth. The whole is underlined by a gilded and chiseled bronze decoration, in handles consisting of ribbon knots sheathed and connected by a garland of laurel, in keyhole of ribbon knots ending on each side by a garland of laurel cloth and in lower crosspiece, a lamp base enhanced by an inverted shell and stylized scrolls. The interior of the drawers and the bottom are in solid oak. This chest of drawers is topped by a Royal red marble top carved called "bec de corbin". The whole frame rests on four cambered feet, flanked by stylized ormolu scrolls ending on hooves.
