The front is beautifully paneled and showcases neoclassical motifs including draped swags, lion paw feet, and a central medallion with detailed mythological scene relief work. Flanked by fluted columns capped with ornate capitals and resting on robust claw feet over bronze-mounted plinths.

This piece exemplifies the grandeur and symmetry of the Empire aesthetic, reflecting both craftsmanship and classical inspiration. The bold coloration of the verde marble top contrasts beautifully with the rich mahogany body, and the mirror-like polish enhances the deep hues and wood grain.

A show-stopping statement piece ideal for a grand entryway, formal dining room, or refined living space.
