Their knockout facade is decorated with interior moldings. The longer, thinner center drawer leaves clearance. The opposite side of the desk is made up of identical fake drawers.
This piece of furniture rests on four legs with sculpted acanthus leaves in the upper part. They are turned into a spindle and carved with grooves.
In the lower part, a spacer with concave wooden elements join together and form a plant sculpture in the center.
The top of this desk is upholstered in original camel-colored leather embellished with a cold stamp.
The Krieger signatures are located on the edge of each drawer.
