This is an Italian walnut cabinet and stand filled with carved figures. The top half of the furniture is a 16th century cabinet, and the wider and taller stand on which it rests is a late 19th century addition. Beneath the overhanging top edge of the cabinet are two bands of egg and dart molding. On each of the two longer sides of the cabinet beneath these bands are two drawers with ring pulls held by lion heads. Alternating with the drawers are carved busts of bearded men, three total per side. On each of the two shorter sides of this part of the cabinet there are blank panels carved the same way as the drawers. Flanking these panels are additional carved busts, two total per side. Beneath this segment of drawers and busts is another band of egg and dart molding. This band forms another overhanging edge, beneath which is another band of the same motif. The rectangular body of the cabinet underneath this band has ornately dressed figures. There are two rows of figures located at the edges of each side, so that one is standing atop another and there are four total per side. The two shorter sides are carved with an empty architectural niche between the rows of figures. The large front side of the body is blank apart from a large escutcheon in the shape of an elongated crown. This side is a panel that drops down to reveal ten interior drawers, all with embellished triangular ring pulls held by animal heads. Four stacked nearly-square drawers form the two vertical edges of the grid of drawers. The remaining two drawers in the middle are longer and in line with the top and bottom rows of the other drawers. In between them at the very center is a carved standing cherub set within an architectural niche and surrounded by a decoratively carved frame. The stand beneath the cabinet mimics the form of the cabinet. It is topped with a band of a double layer of egg and dart molding, under which is the same segment of drawers and busts found on the cabinet above, except the drawers here have embellished triangular ring pulls instead of simple circles and the animal heads are more recognizable as lions. The rectangular body of the stand has the same rows of figures at the edges of each side, except now there is an additional row so that there are six figures total per side. Again the two shorter sides are carved with an empty architectural niche between the rows of figures, except now there are fluted columns, each atop a square containing a carved starburst-like shape. The arch at the top is carved with a variation of this starburst shape on either side. The large front side of the stand is a cupboard with two doors, each bearing a large embellished triangular ring pull held by a lionhead. There are two of the empty architectural niches here for a total of four columns and three squares with starbursts. The two columns meeting in the middle rest on the same square. Likewise there are three starburst shapes carved into the arches, the central one being the largest where the two columns meet. The base of the stand rests upon two long parallel planks, atop which are anthropomorphic bearded lions gazing upwards and connected to the base of the stand at the backs of their heads. The lions have one large six-toed foot each.
