Furniture in the Biedermeier style from the 19th century.

The furniture has a compact, massive body supported by rectangular legs. The form of the furniture refers to ancient motifs - the shape resembles the portico of an ancient temple - with a high pedestal and a cornice topped with an abutment, supported by two slender columns.

Carved semicircle motifs on the front, beautiful veneer with distinctive graining and brass elements. Additionally, the interior uses a noble wood decorating technique - marquetry. On the front of the drawers it is a thin border made of a lighter strip of wood, and on the plinth under the drawers there is a checkerboard made of alternately light and dark cubes. The centrally located cabinet with a key is distinguished by a tympanum with inlaid rays converging exactly in the middle.

The filing cabinet has a lot of storage space - two drawers at the bottom and one at the top, and in the part with a hinged top - 10 small drawers and a key cabinet. See less
