Pair of concealed drawers reside across the front with blind pulls to the trailing edge
Rhombus panels adorn each corner, with delicately carved angles catching the light
Raised upon a pair of thick, enthusiastically carved supports
Expressing the Gothic revival overtones, scrolled and heraldic motif in abundance
