About this work

Buffet of coromandel wood on an oak core, with a pink-grey-red veined marble top, framed by three higher wooden borders, with two carved birds of prey at the corners, behind which are volute-shaped ornaments. Above two louvre doors three drawers are attached, with wooden handles and key plates. The corner stiles are carved in relief at the bottom with leaf motifs; at the top with stylized carving, front with a bird and crowned with a glued-on bird, sides with oval cabochons.
