The cabinet is made of walnut veneered wood with a uniform grain. The front is decorated with hand-made painting in an illusionist Op-Art style. Decoration is an artistic highlight of the style of a bygone era. The cabinet has rounded edges, which is characteristic of the post-war design referring to Artdèc’s forms.
