The cabinet is crafted in green onyx and set with contrasting pink, veined marble, and has an architectural design, formed as a three-tiered structure. Its curved upper pediment is mounted with a gilt bronze shield with feathers, and each of the three tiers are distinguished by pierced, gilt bronze galleries which offer decorative display surfaces. The galleries are further ornamented with exquisite hanging lobes of champlevé enamel patternwork.
The front of the cabinet is set with a large, rectangular mirror, which is framed with beaded gilt bronze and further decorated with champlevé enamel lobes around the edges. The mirror can be opened at a clasp, and it swings forward as a door to reveal two interior onyx shelves. The entire cabinet is set upon a rectangular base, all sitting on intricately cast gilt bronze feet.
