In the overhanging frieze below, a row of three drawers open by hidden cupped handles along the bottom edge (the keyholes are only decorative without a key present). The case is animated by abstract, swirling grain patterns of the wood in those luminous brown tones mahogany is prized for. In the storage compartment of the case one finds a wide cabinet behind the left and center doors opened by gripping the pillar in the absence of a key. A narrow cabinet to the right side opens by using the key as a pull. Both sections contain a semi-adjustable shelf, 13 ½” deep for ample storage in a dining room or foyer. Two thick columns to the sides–detached from the case–are mounted with gilt bronze capitals and bases that further underscore the Empire taste for Greco-Roman architecture.
