Cabinet veneered in walnut briar, the uprights on the front, also in walnut wood, are richly carved: starting from the bottom there is a shelf in the shape of a leaf scroll, surmounted by a fish, a dolphin according to the imagination of the time, and again by a grotesque mask. In the upper part there is a caryatid, in the left upright, while in the right one a Telamon, both with facial features that recall the tradition of grotesque masks.
The band under the top sees the alternation of briar veneered reserves with small carved tiles: in the lateral ones there are two profiles of warriors with helmets on their heads, then there are two tiles with weapons, a shield and a quiver of arrows; finally, in the centre, an oval coat of arms, however without identifying elements.
The front is occupied by a large folding door also veneered in briar on the inside, concealing a chest of drawers made up of twelve small drawers and two side doors; they are all decorated with carved briar frames.
The wrought iron lock is hidden on the outside, but visible on the inside of the door; It has the characteristic lily shape, echoed in the hinges of the door.
