The interiors, in solid pine wood, are prepared with two adjustable shelves with a wooden rack, while the back is worked with a cross-shaped frame. The “crossbow” front and sides is given by the union of the linden boards between them, suitably shaped to give it the desired shape, and joined with natural glues produced by animal waste.

The support legs, high and shaped, are enriched with luxury bronze accessories handmade in classic 18th century Venetian style and are embellished with a hand-carved cord that surrounds the entire perimeter. The refined bronzes, which denote the influence of France in the Louis XV style furnishings, are handcrafted in cast brass on an earthen mold with the ancient method of lost wax, chiseled and polished by hand. The finish is two-tone, with the top in dark honey-colored cherry wood and the entire lower part lacquered in grey, protected with 97% French white wax.
