its massive, rectilinear silhouette is characteristic of the period. The entire piece is painted in shades of almond green and cream, with the top and plinth treated to a trompe-l'œil effect of red and orange marble. The corners are adorned with curved columns featuring recessed fluting. The two wide doors are decorated with molded panels. The original wrought iron hardware features sinuous designs, and the original lock and key are in good condition.
