Large cabinet with fall front (now detached) containing 20 drawers (with four more concealed) and two cupboards in three tiers; the exterior with pierced steel mounts overlaying yellow textile (the mounts on the top without textile) at the corners and at intervals along the edges; fitted on each side with a large cast bail handle finely chiselled with ornamental rings and finials; the fall front fitted with three iron hinges (each with three pine cone rivets) with matching pierced lockplate and four side bolts of gilded steel, with confronting rampant lions and two spiralled baluster ornaments (or one on each bolt) with obelisk finials; the two pronged hasp with spiralled balusters and pine cone ornaments. Nail holes indicate where five square, pierced mounts were originally set diamond-wise around the lock plate on three sides.
The interior drawer and cupboard fronts are decorated with walnut veneers with ivory inlay, black paint and gilding, pairs or trios of fluted and spiralled, partly gilded columns (plain on their backs) forming arcading and aedicules with a central cross below a gilded scallop shell motif, and turned ivory ball ornaments flanking the pediment, each fitted with a gilded pine cone knob handle. The central panel of each drawer or cupboard with four rhombus motifs arranged around a circle in four divisions. The four central drawers with a gilded grid with elongated ovals. The four deep drawers are each fitted with a secret subdrawer, the front of which is concealed as the plinth to the aedicule, or arcade for the wide bottom drawer. Most drawer fronts are inscribed on the top edge in Arabic or roman numerals up to 19.

Construction
The carcase dovetailed, the back board is nailed with figure of 8 head nails into a narrow rebate (and has a long split across the middle). Fitted inside the main boards is an inner nest of vertical dividers and dustboards, with its own exterior boards glued(?) to the main boards, all the joints mitred and with ivory stringing along its front edges. The inner nest is of walnut for the outer boards and softwood with a 7cm lip of walnut. The fall front of breadboard construction, the side battens mitred with deep (2.5cm tongue and groove). The drawers are fully dovetailed in walnut (x3 dovetails), the bottoms (a single board grained front to back) nailed up on all four sides, and at the front shaped to match the section of the applied drawer fronts, the elements of which are nailed. Each pine cone knob handle is driven into the drawer front with a clinched nail. The secret drawers are fully dovetailed (x1) in walnut, the bottoms (a single board grained front to back) nailed up.

Modifications
The fall front detached (the two screws that fixed each hinge to the cabinet bottom have sheared), with wooden caps filling the hinge mortises at the bottom of the carcase. The mounts removed and the textile replaced. Nail holes around the mounts indicate fixings for metal borders that have been lost. The top of the cabinet has been stained black.
