A multi-tiered, stepped-design cabinet with a hinged flap, decorated on the front with a geometric band of marquetry and a central rosette featuring a star motif; when the flap is opened, a folding two-part tabletop is revealed, creating a smooth, lacquered work surface; inside, in the center, an open compartment surrounded by an asymmetrical arrangement of four smaller drawers (two on each side) with inlaid fronts; on either side of the flap, two pairs of pull-out drawers with wavy, convex fronts. The lower section features a three-tiered chest-of-drawers design; the upper section is divided into two smaller lockable drawers; below are two full-size, deep drawers with locks in the center, additionally equipped with handles mounted on decorative rosettes. The piece rests on four angular legs that taper downward [3 keys included].
