The marble inlaid tabletops are richly veined in shades of white and grey, and set in an ormolu frame. Pulling the delicate, cast ormolu handle reveals a writing panel. Below the writing panel is a drawer, the front of it adorned with a charming floral ormolu mount, complementing further ormolu detailing. The front panel decorated with a parquetry design, and framed by beading pattern ormolu mounts and an ormolu garland shaped handle open to reveal a marble inlaid interior. 

Below the main body of each piece is a mahogany shelf beautifully decorated with a pierced ormolu gallery. Both furniture pieces stand on four fluted and reeded legs, each one terminating in ormolu feet.

The well-thought through material selection and multifunctional design are a testament to the superb quality of this pair of cabinets. In the Louis XVI, the furniture pieces would make an elegant addition to a bedroom space.
