Made of ebony and tortoiseshell veneer decorated with wavy moldings, this cabinet opens with two leaves revealing ten drawers and a large drawer in the lower part.
The central door framed by two columns and decorated with coats of arms opens to reveal a compartment decorated with five glass panels decorated with coats of arms and a black and white checkerboard floor.
The leaves as well as the sides of this cabinet are decorated with posterior ivory plaques representing aristocratic characters surmounted by whimsical coats of arms.
