The wide, projecting cornice is adorned with a carved frieze of scrolls and floral motifs, emphasizing the noble character of the piece. The lower section features three wide, solid doors, each decorated with a central medallion carved in high relief, framed by vegetal motifs and molded panels. The uprights are meticulously crafted, alternating sculpted pilasters, friezes, and architectural frames, demonstrating exceptional cabinetmaking skill.
