The top drawer is a little shallower than the rest and it stands a little proud, flanked by elongated pyramid appliqués. On the front corners a broad reeded molding stands between the carved feet and corbels. On the right hand side this is hinged with a lock intended to lock all the drawers. Sadly the key is missing. The hand-cut dovetailed drawers have applied trim creating a paneled appearance and have unusual brass and wood knobs. less
