The top with concave front and sides, tulip wood cross banded and boxwood strung, with moulded edge and below an arrangement of four long graduated, tulipwood cross banded and strung drawers, fitted with gilt brass ring handles, border by canted front corners strung with box, with mahogany inlay and a diminutive fleur de lys to the top.
