The doors are each decorated with delicately fluted and striking wavy and arched foliate bands framing the exceptional and most decorative flamed Mahogany wood panels. The doors open in an exceptional and most unique fashion with the central door unlocking and opening to reveal adjustable shelves and all original hardware and the right door opening using the key to action a spring lock bringing the central door along with it.

Exquisite pierced ormolu plaques extend along the three drawers with the central drawer displaying stunning intricately detailed scrolled Rinceau designs with lovely vines, grape leaves and grape clusters with a Bacchanalian mask at the center flanked by beautiful cornucopias with rams eating fruit. The outer drawers are decorated with similar wonderfully executed scrolled foliate and vine designs with charming Bacchanalian cherubs sitting playing the Horn with a pan fluted and bagpipes at their side, and a lovely richly chased bird pecking at the grapes. Above is the original Bleu Turquin marble top fitted within a striking wraparound gadroon like designed ormolu band. Wonderful attention to detail and exquisite quality throughout.
