It has a matched quarter veneered top with patterns resembling flames. The edges are decorated with herring bone inlay and cross banded. The drawers too are cross-banded and edged with cock-beading which continues around the shaped frieze. The legs are made from solid walnut and terminate in beautifully shaped cabriole pads.
The carcass is constructed from pine with oak lined drawers and is in its original condition. Even the handles are original. It has a toffee coloured patina and it is both useful and graceful.
