About this work

Cabinet of coromandel wood consisting of a lower and a slightly recessed upper cabinet. The lower cabinet has two doors with two drawers above them. The doors each consist of panels within a frame whose stiles contain carved columns with leaf capitals. On both the left and right sides of the drawers, the oak ends of the dovetail joints of the drawer construction are visible, namely three squares stacked vertically. The drawers feature brass fittings in the form of key plates and handles with mask ornaments. The corner stiles at the front of the cabinet end at mid-height in a carved figure with a staff. The slightly recessed upper cabinet consists of two doors with a hood above them made of two frames. The doors each consist of four panels, of which the two at the bottom are approximately three times as large as the two at the top. The upper panels feature a scroll decoration with stylized vines. The panels are within a frame whose two central stiles contain carved columns.
