On the right hand side of the cabinet is an open section which could be used for storage. Beneath that section there is also a fielded panel. On the left hand side there is a polished fielded panel again in the Rococo style, and the back is polished with similar carving. Beneath the whole piece there is a stylish shaped apron which runs around on all sides, and the whole piece stands on four squat Queen Anne feet. A good piece of Edinburgh-made furniture.
