The single-board top with egg-and-dart underfrieze, above a highly unusual narrow cupboard masquerading as a traditional frieze, enclosed by two slender boarded doors, each deeply reed-carved and pin-hinged, and centred by a leaf-carved corbel, which slides to reveal a lock, and with a matching corbel to each end, the middle-tier with a similarly carved front rail, raised on reeded cup-and cover and parallel-baluster front supports, 99cm wide x 38cm deep x 119.5cm high, (38 1/2in wide x 14 1/2in deep x 47in high)
