The chest is rather large in size and features three inset drawers that work well and can be used on a daily basis. The handles are original and very ornate. The front corners are cantered and follow the bombay shape of the front, whereas the sides are flat. The chest sits on bun feet and is finished by a simple line of angled molding on the bottom. The top is made of three boards with ogee serpentine edges on three sides. On one side part of the edge is slightly damaged towards the back (pictured).
