Walnut burl veneered cabinet, the uprights on the front, also in walnut wood, are richly carved: starting from the bottom there is a shelf in the shape of a leafy volute, surmounted by a fish, a dolphin according to the imagination of the time, and again from a grotesque mask. In the upper part there is instead a caryatid, in the left upright, while in the right one a telamon, both with facial features that recall the tradition of grotesque masks. The band below the top sees the alternation of reserves veneered in briar with small carved pieces: in the lateral ones there are two profiles of warriors with helmets on their heads, then there are two pieces with weapons, a shield and a quiver of arrows; in the center, finally, an oval coat of arms, without however any identifying elements. The front is occupied by a large opening flap door veneered in briar inside, hiding a chest of drawers consisting of twelve small drawers and two side doors; they are all decorated with carved briar frames. The wrought iron lock is hidden on the outside, but visible on the inside of the door; it has the characteristic lily shape, echoed in the door hinges.
