Showcase with desk in mahogany palm wood. The upper glazed body has three shelves and is topped with molding and eaves. A vertical molding with a grooved design runs along the frame that joins the two doors, a motif that is repeated on the lower body. Between the two is a folding desk top that hides compartments and drawers underneath. The discreet ornamentation gives way to the beauty of the veining.
