Architectural escritoire with its front arranged in vertical hatches composed by two lateral rows, each of them formed by five drawers of the same size and a central body organized in three horizontal zones, the lower one with only one drawer (under its base there is a small secret compartment) and the upper one with two, decorated with a succession of small diminished arches over columns. The central part has two doors and a vertical drawer decorated like a building façade: portal between two windows with responds, columns and gables. The vertical drawer also has a carved cross. All knobs have a shell shape. Frontal folding lid and two handles with a balustrade latch shape on the sides. External lock with coat-of-arms brackets with openwork veneer fixed by two balustrade clamps to the lid and balustrade espagnolette bolts. Two locks over openwork sheets situated halfway through the lid. Two balustrade iron knobs over cut out veneer.
