The vase shape  is very peculiar, terminating as it does with two small cylinders cleverly inlaid with a “small leaf” motif and underscored by grooves. The precious walnut and briar woods are alternated to form friezes that characterize every side. The front is a real jewel testifying to the magic workmanship and the naturalistic virtues of the art of marquetry. The lid can be opened to reveal the fitted mirror and the writing-desk interior with several elements composed with a dazzling harmony. With secret compartment.
