The doors opening to reveal a fitted interior of ten drawers and a central cupboard, all faced in incredibly rare embroidered silk stumpwork panels. The central cupboard enclosing a mirrored arcaded interior with a bone and ebony chequer board floor. Above a frieze drawer and all on turned bun feet.
With a later 19th century barley sugar twist stand.
Probably Antwerp, circa 1640s
