The tall, narrow form—intended for corner placement—features a slightly projecting top with a molded edge and a delicately scalloped apron at the base. Clean lines, gently rounded corners, and understated decorative elements reveal subtle neoclassical influences. The piece is fitted with a single door adorned with a brass keyhole escutcheon and a small upper drawer with simple, elegant hardware. The construction relies on precise joinery with no visible screws or nails, reflecting high-quality craftsmanship. The surface is smooth and uniform, free from visible signs of wear or repair.
