The upper frieze is inset with a red tortoiseshell-style decorative panel with scrolling brass inlay, below a bold gilt-bronze gallery molding. The cabinet is raised on a shaped plinth base with additional gilt mounts and retains a dramatic black, gold, and red decorative scheme. Dimensions: 45 in. H, 36.5 in. W, 15 in. D.
