Front with three wavy drawers divided by crossbars, one under the smaller plan and two larger below, veneered in violet wood with geometric reserves within fillets with wood and circular rosettes in wood opposed arranged in herringbone. The edge of the drawers is profiled with a rounded solid wood headboard; the crossbars are also veneered in a herringbone pattern set against the edges of the drawers.

Moved apron that fits into the slightly arched legs. Brass plinths and frames partly pierced. See less
