Above each leg are superb intricately detailed ormolu mounts of charming musical instruments including a tambourine with a hammered design, a horn, a triangle, and castanets amidst foliate designs. The apron displays one draw at the front centered by a striking pierced ormolu mount with remarkable scrolled foliate movements, wonderful blooming flowers, and finely detailed eagle heads holding berried laurel garlands in their beaks set on a mahogany background and flanked by exceptional recessed panels framed within a beaded mottled ormolu band.
