About this work

Cabinet of plywood, birch, and poplar wood resting on broad feet that continue into three stiles. The broad cabinet has two doors with two drawers below that are slightly recessed. In the center is a broad round central stile. The two corner stiles contain a whimsically carved scalloped motif. The wavy molding at the top of the cabinet is recessed and contains carved elements. The central stile is connected to the molding at the top by slanted partitions that terminate at the front in a pointed V-shape. Both the drawers and the doors feature large round black-painted knobs. The doors contain key plates in a pointed V-shape and hinges with a slanted scalloped side.
