The stand contains a wide drawer and two narrow drawers with brass fittings; openwork decorative pieces below the rail. The upper cabinet has two doors with twelve panes in straight and, at the top, in broken volute-shaped muntins. The top follows the movement of the molded cornice with five consoles for a cabinet set, beneath which is a flat field with a central ornament.
