framed by four main rounded projecting stiles set recessed beneath a rectangular top panel forming a tapered silhouette, the pair of single panel doors with wooden dowels fitting into sockets in the upper frame and lower front rails, all above a plain apron, the interior with two removable shelves

The cabinet is made of huanghuali and other hardwoods. Indicatively on visual inspection (without guarantee): The two side panels are nammu. The top's center panel is Cedar, and the frame is huanghuali. The back panel is cedar, the pillars are huanghuali. The detachable front central post may be later replacement. One of the two shelves is missing on the interior. The back rail of the top's frame is a later replacement. There are typical chips along the edges or expected age cracks and the surface is dry and dusty as visible on the photograph in the catalogue.
