Louis Philippe period showcase characterized by its rotund volume. The cabinet rises on four cut out legs on which the main body of prismatic format rests. The decoration is in the moldings that define the structure: for the lower part the cabinetmaker has used straight moldings that frame a drawer with keyhole and key. For the upper part (the showcase itself) the artist preferred to use sinuous forms that delimit the glass. A sharp-edged coping finishes off the upper part.
