The upper case has a flat overhanging top and a narrow horizontal rectangular figured maple veneered panel over a line of cock-bead molding above the tambour doors. The two tambour doors have narrow reeds and round metal knobs; the doors are flanked by narrow rectangular panels of figured maple veneer. The interior of the case has a central column with two pigeonholes over a drawer over a double-wide pigeonhole, flanked by narrow pigeonholes extending the whole height of the interior, flanked by six graduated drawers over a row of pigeonholes. The drawers have round metal knobs and all pigeonholes except the narrow ones have scalloped valances. The lower case joins the upper case with cove molding; above the writing area is a narrow horizontal rectangular figured maple veneered panel. The front top of the case is sloped, with a lid that folds down to create the writing surface. The lid has a rectangular veneered panel with concave corners, with inlaid dark, light, and dark graduated diamonds at center; the lid supports have cock-bead molding around the edges and round metal knobs. The three graduated drawers have cock-bead molding around the edges, veneered rectangular panels, metal oval keyhole surrounds, and round wooden knobs inlaid with a layered star design. The front corners of the lower case have free-standing turned columns; the bottom of the case has a reeded strip bordered top and bottom with cock-bead molding. The shortened cabriole legs have gadrooned knee cuffs and claw-and-ball feet; some of the original gold leaf paint remains between the toes on the feet.
