The piece of furniture—handcrafted in Guinean wood (rift-cut Sapelly) in classic style and topped with fine marquetry strokes—consists of a central body with a top opening and three retractable shelves containing the different trays, with handles and locks. The entire set was designed by the firm Muebles Negurl, S. A. from Luchana (Barakaldo) . The furniture is in excellent condition and the cutlery has never been used. Due to the long period of storage and disuse, the silver surface shows the characteristic surface sulphiding process, with dark grey or orange stains. This is completely normal and disappears by wetting a piece of cotton with a special silver cleaning product that can be found in any drugstore.
