The cabinet is veneered throughout in tortoiseshell, the central top portico is supported by spirally twisted columns of Ebonised wood which lead to a ballustrade of gilt-bronze supports.

The interior of the cabinet is fitted with numerous drawers and secret compartments. The cabinet stands on a conforming base dating from the Late Nineteenth Century.
