At the center is one drawer displaying a most impressive and wonderfully executed pierced brass plaque with beautiful floral and foliate designs each fitted with ebony inlaid wood and displaying scrolled foliate ormolu pulls and keyhole escutcheon. The back is decorated in the same manner as the sides centered by a finely detailed mask of a beautiful maiden. Above is the outstanding and most decorative top richly decorated with beautiful masterfully executed inlaid brass fillets in geometric patterns with lovely flowers and corner horseshoe shaped designs set on a stunning tortoiseshell and ebony background.
