Under the scroll of the upper part of the legs, there is a circular tray, with cylindrical cavities of several diameters allowing to arrange bottles.
The whole rests on three slightly curved feet, tapering downwards, ending in lion's claws. They rest on a helix base in mahogany veneer, on casters. A cylindrical element whose base has a chased brass ring, with Empire motifs, is placed on it. Its top has a marble, surmounted by an element also in brass, probably serving to put a water reserve.

This piece of furniture of toilet disappeared from the interiors with the appearance of the bathrooms, in the XXth century. Today, it is an original element of decoration and utility, which will be just as suitable for men as for women.
