This middle desk is surrounded by a gadrooned gilded bronze ingot mold with chiseled sculptures at the corners. The curved belt of this desk is fitted with a large drawer hidden on the front, decorated with foliage and flowers. This piece of furniture rests on curved legs enriched in the upper part with an ornate gilded bronze corner drop representing a woman's bust.
