This ornamentation process is found in various places, in particular in the upper part, on the facade and on the uprights, always on a black background in blackened wood, thus offering a beautiful contrast.

A third molding scalloped with shells embellishes the base in its overhang, while its periphery, like that of the half-round angles, is finely underlined with inlays of brass fillet on blackened wood. This property is crowned with an original veined white marble in perfect condition, which brings an additional shine to the whole.
