Splendid center cabinet with two doors and vanet under the top in perfect Louis XVI style. The elegant furniture, with a particularly slender line, is completely veneered in purple rosewood arranged in a herringbone pattern with rosewood inlays embellishing all four sides. Legs in a single column with a square section protruding up to the top. This elegant constructive solution, but above all aesthetic, gave an extremely elegant interplay of volumes and was a typical habit of Genoese cabinetmakers. The external legs were also highlighted by a rich filleting in chiaroscuro woods. The built-in top is made of wood painted with imitation yellow marble and lacquered
