A neo-classical armoire with two panelled doors inset with mirror glass at a later date; the broken pediment raised over a freize of carved paterae, centred by an urn and flanked by fluted free-standing columns set at an angle and mounted with gilt bronze bases and capitals. The panelled doors enriched with carved paterae in the re-entrant corners of the cable carved frame. The lower pair of cupboards similarly panelled, unglazed.
