It is constructed in mahogany, Carrara marble, and extensively dressed with fine ormolu mounts. It is of free standing rectangular form, rising from fielded panel tapering legs terminating in foliate chased toupie feet. It has a stretcher of stylized ‘X’ form issuing from an elliptical central boss, and dressed in the quadrants with floral ormolu mounts. The apron houses two oak lined drawers, having quadrant mounts, and two faux drawers, all, most unusually, faced with marble panels. The apron also has a running ormolu arcaded mount set about central tablets depicting putti. The platform has everted angles and is dressed with a gilt tooled writing surface.
