The two tambour doors have narrow reeds and round metal knobs. Three inlaid pilasters of light and dark stringing of varying widths flank and separate the doors. Behind each tambour door are three pigeonholes with scrolled valances over two stacked drawers with ring pulls; the pigeonholes are painted blueish-green. The upper and lower cases are joined with shallow ogee molding. The upper front edge of the lower case is bordered with stringing, and the top folds down to create the writing surface. The lower edge of the lower case top is bevel molded. The lid supports have round metal knobs and cock-bead molding around the edges. The single drawer has cock-bead molding around the edges, a stringing outline, an inlaid oval keyhole surround, and gilded beaded ring pulls on stamped round escutcheons. The front posts have inlaid pilasters with triangular ends with dots at each corner of the triangle. Applied ogee molding runs along the bottom of the case. Pierced knee brackets flank all four therm legs; the spade feet have a curved taper. The front legs have bellflower inlay with eight three-piece flowers of diminishing size separated by dots.
