The façade features two large side doors adorned with raised woven-pattern panels — a striking motif characteristic of the modernist decorative experiments of the 1930s–40s.

At the center, a stack of three drawers with their original brass handles is concealed behind a vertically ribbed front.

The top is full and softly rounded along the edges, resting on a recessed rectangular plinth that visually lightens the overall silhouette. The sides, crafted from carefully selected walnut, display a luminous and well-balanced grain.

Inside, the cabinet offers generous storage space, consistent with the domestic use for which these refined utilitarian pieces were originally designed.
