The rounded side design is very traffic-friendly, so even though the maximum depth is almost 2 feet, it seems like a smaller piece. Topped with beveled marble that follows the case contours, it makes for carefree entertaining, display and even serving food and drink. Under the marble is the drawer tier, with two rounded drawers on each side and two full-size between them, each carved with a foliate facade and fitted with cast brass pendant pulls. The rounded drawers are separated from the center drawers by a full-relief carved lion's head which also appears over a brace of carved pilasters which in turn provide a framework for the two center cabinet doors. Each has been lavished with relief carvings of a neoclassical nature yet with obvious Renaissance style cues. The cabinets on the sides are rounded, of course, and feature interesting oval frameworks surrounding the carvings which appear as fanciful heraldic shields, also carved with a Renaissance flair while still possessing neoclassical character. All four drawers and doors open to reveal capacious storage. Bold, multi-tiered base molding completes the look.
