Small Biedermeier period side cabinet from Southern Germany. The carcass is cherry-veneered on softwood.

Above the door is a drawer that extends across the entire width. Behind it is a shelf. The fittings include a brass ring handle with a lion's head rosette on the drawer and a brass knob on the door. The door has a locking mechanism.

Ebonized moldings frame the top plate edge and the plinth area, standing out as narrow, dark lines against the light cherry wood.

The cabinet stands on curved saber legs, which emerge from the front edges of the carcass and splay widely outwards. They give the compact body a light stance.

The cabinet has been restored and refinished with new shellac. During restoration, it was necessary to repair the door veneer. The cabinet is ready for living spaces.
