Its pentagonal facade features, in the upper part and on each of its sides, the profile of a character styled. These sometimes male representations sometimes feminine, evoke the Henri II style. They are underlined by molded frames and summoned with scalloped friezes. The angles are embellished with plant decorations arranged vertically.
The central pan of this piece of furniture opens through a door with a lock in operation and its key, all revealing a storage compartment garnished with a shelf.
Below, integrated into the richly carved belt of this cabinet, we discover a drawer 10.5 cm deep. Its facade is embellished with a reptilian creature spitting fire, surrounded by coats of arms. This worked banner overlooking a naked space is supported on the sides by two straight amounts. On the front and on both sides of the drawer, the angles are extended by sculptures in acanthus leaves and pine cones. Note that the bottom of the open niche also benefits from protruding frames and floral decorations.
The whole rests on a high base with multiple moldings and cut feet.
The back of the cabinet is oak.
We can imagine this weeping presentation piece of presentation, or in a renovated castle, in which we have been able to preserve the old castle.
