This piece of furniture stands out for the exceptional quality of the inlays and the refined neoclassical line.

Inlays: The top and front are richly decorated with contrasting geometric and floral inlays, using light wood, dil boxwood, to create a striking visual effect.

Front: There is a drawer in the band, also embellished with geometric inlays and completed by a brass ring handle.

Line: Typical of the Louis XVI style, characterized by a rigorous structure, straight and clean lines that replace the curves of Rococo.
Legs: Tapered and slender (pin legs), which give lightness and elegance to the entire structure.
