The commode stands on four splaying, cylindrical fluted legs with bronze rings at the bottom and top. Above the legs, there is a bronze rosette in a square. The commode is semi-elliptical and crescent-shaped. There are two marble shelves with cut corners on each side of the two middle drawers, framed by bronze trellis. The drawer panels are combined in a lying rectangular field, en-framed by bronze. The drawers are equipped with round pulls, and keyhole shields with oval garlands of ribbon. The top follows the shape of the commode. There are three short drawers below, in the frieze. The ones above the shelves open towards the sides.
