These doors are fixed on double iron hinges and are locked by an original functional lock with key and brass entry. The one on the left locks with a top and bottom clasp. The interior is lined with two solid mahogany shelves, adjustable since on racks. Below, there are two compartmentalized drawers with rosewood fronts. They are also equipped with original locks, keys and entrances. The sides have molded frames including seven rectangular panels with flowerbeds, six of which are of the same size (known as “chocolate bars”).
