The whole is crowned by a molded cornice highlighted by an elegant gadrooned frieze.
The projecting lower part of this two-part cabinet conceals an ingenious sliding compartment at the top revealing a writing desk covered in new black leather, enhanced with a gold vignette and a refined central motif. On either side, slender balusters frame this space, and at the bottom we find three small drawers and a spacious storage niche.
Finally, two solid lockable doors reveal, when opened, three large sliding drawers.
This piece of furniture, with its compact dimensions and meticulous craftsmanship, seduces as much by its functionality as by the beauty of its rosewood shades. Ideal for combining aesthetics and practicality in a distinctive interior.
