The structure is built with four tiered wooden shelves supported by dynamic, open-work side supports made of steam-bent wood that spiral into tight scroll and whorl details. A prominent, ornate scroll-work pediment crowns the top shelf, adding a decorative flourish that balances the clean, functional lines of the display surfaces below. The natural wood grain shows through a warm, polished finish, emphasizing its antique character of late 19th century design.
