Its top is a nice green marble of the Alps with white venon, 3 cm thick, cut with throats on its periphery. Its front angles are cut out on jams, thus marrying the lines of the amounts which are too.
This buffet offers several storage spaces and including two belt drawers, assembled in 'Crés d'Arondes', with simple wooden blocking system. They are equipped with round pulled handles chopped in laurel wreaths and are embellished, on both sides, pearls in brass forming frames and thus highlighting the two withdrawal panels which constitute each of these drawers.
Below, this served piece of furniture consists of a niche on three open sides, with Moiré mahogany background valued by a Doucine wand. The visible parts of the rear amounts are fluted, thus recalling the streaks of the front columns. Note that the latter are ordered from two finely worked bronzes, representing a bouquet of flowers suspended from a ribbon.
Finally, in the lower part of this buffet, two Moiré mahogany doors discover a naked compartment offering storage on 34 cm high. The facades are made up of panels with each other, underlined with molded wooden frames, and pearl friezes identical to those of the drawers. The intermediate panel is cut with Greek corners garnished with bronze flowers. These doors are provided with entrances in locks in intertwined laurels, and the one on the right is equipped with a lock with high and bottom hooking points. The furniture is supplied with its key.
The whole rests on four feet turned and molded, ended with brass hooves.
