Simple architecture with a plinth and flat cornice. The two doors feature two-tiered molded panels; the upper panel is crowned with a carved frieze in a pointed arch, known as a "gendarme's hat," characteristic of the Louis XIV/Regency transition. Original wrought iron hardware: turned hinges and a central lock. Red marble top veined with white, with softened edges on top and rough edges underneath, displaying an antique patina consistent with the piece. The interior reveals four adjustable light oak shelves and a back panel of raw oak planks; the interior is lined with modern floral paper, which may need to be removed depending on use. The wood has a uniform natural patina, with wear consistent with its age. Original condition, no major restoration work reported. Dimensions: H. 120 cm × W. 87 cm – Weight: 60 kg. See less
