Wood cambared at all sides. Green varnish, plenty of mounting of (fire) gilded bronze. That is forming at all four sides cartouche-like panels, cutted "à jour" with scroll work on red ground; the filling in front is an applicated relief of music instruments. The mounting of the edges are scrollings of rocailles with masks above and claws below. (Covered with varnish.)
