Elaborate decorative work includes angels or putti, with figures along the lower drawers depicted riding dragons and blowing trumpets. Additional carved and inlaid flourishes continue across the façade, giving the cabinet a highly decorative and architectural presence.
The two upper cabinet doors open to reveal three interior shelves. The right door retains a functioning lock and key, while the left door is secured with an interior metal latch. The lower section is composed of two smaller drawers positioned above three larger drawers. The two upper drawers open using keys as pull only, while the three larger drawers are each fitted with two brass ring pulls. Pine was used in the traditional construction of the drawers and back.
Overall this cabinet is in very good condition for its age. Typical small age related cracks, nicks, old markings, and separation of the wood are present throughout but pose no physcial impact. Scratches and gouges are visible along the upper breakfront, with older vertical cracks running along both sides. Residual signs of old dried wormhole activity are present along the back which are no longer active. Age related separation is visible along the planks forming the upper crown.
The cabinet is constructed in two sections for easier transportation and installation. Restored, stable, and ready to use.
