Cabinet by Daniel Pabst: The cabinet is made of dark wood and features a combination of gold, yellow, and brown inlays. The top section has a sloping surface with a repeating pattern of diamonds and lines. Below this, there are three small rectangular panels with a floral design. The main body of the cabinet consists of two sets of double doors with gold and yellow inlays depicting floral patterns. Each set of doors has a large central panel and two smaller side panels. The cabinet has a short base with curved cutouts and stands on four legs. The hardware is gold-colored metal, with two large rings serving as handles for each set of doors. The cabinet's surface is adorned with intricate carvings and patterns throughout.
