The cabinet is serpentine fronted with two doors, opening to reveal the interior with serpentine shelves which are covered in velour. The lock in the centre throws a bolt to the top and bottom. There are four painted panels at the base, depicting ladies in period dress, and all standing on cabriole feet again with ormolu mounts and sabots. The whole piece has excellent colour and patination.
