Wood: Walnut with mixed-linear threading on the boxwood door. Finish: Shellac polishing.

The body of the cabinet has a pentagonal shape suitable for being placed in a corner of the room, optimizing the space.

The front facade is embellished with an important "butterfly" or "ray" inlaid panel, obtained from the symmetrical arrangement of wood veneers with mirrored grain, creating a decorative effect of great impact. At the center of the panel is an inlaid shaped folder motif, delimited by a contrasting boxwood profile.

The door opens onto an internal compartment with a shelf.

The cabinet rests on "ham" shaped feet, typical of Ferarrese cabinetmaking, which give lightness and dynamism to the structure.
