Incredible detailed carving, captivating features that include ornate, relief carved lion masks on the canted corners and large carved foliate scrolls across the wide frieze. Quite unique feature here, two end drawers, one on each side. Brass drawer pulls on each drawer and brass ring accents in all four lion mouths.
Dual legs on each side, with hand carved acanthus bulbous shape to the legs. Ornately carved scalloped feet with large carved stretcher for stability and support.
