The mirror fixing consoles are carved with openwork branches, at the top of which sits a baby bird. A couple of marmots throne on either side of the mirror, standing on a pile of rocks, they each hold in their paws, a small blown glass vase engraved with a leafy frieze. The drawers are carved with a decoration of mountain flora. The top that overlooks the large drawer has a sandblasted bottom, engraved with small patterns. Note the incredible finesse of the sculptures and the attention to detail given by the craftsman to the realization of this piece.
