Inside, drawers are lacquered in glossy black and decorated with gold- and silver-toned motifs in the shape of maple leaves.
The top has a curved, pagoda-like profile or raised wings with a small curved drawer integrated into the cornice/roof.
Inside, two front doors decorated with the peony flower and held by a pierced brass latch. When opening the doors, there are two inner drawers with a glossy black finish and maple leaf motifs.
At the base, a larger pull-out drawer.
