The cupboard doors open to reveal 1 shelf with open storage. There is outstanding quality decorative gilt metal ormolu throughout the entirety of the desk. The handles are of the finest quality. All of the locks on the desk are signed Brahma Locks ( Brahma locks are well known as the finest locks to be had throughout Britain and were only used on the finest of the finest because of their extreme expense ) the inside of the desk ( where your legs go ) is also finished in the same manner as the right and left ends of the desk with all inlays and gilt metal ormolu ( another sign of pure quality ).
