The image depicts a high chest of drawers. The chest is made of dark brown wood, possibly mahogany or walnut. The chest is tall and rectangular with a flat top. Seven drawers are visible, with two short top drawers slightly smaller than the others. The drawers have small brass keyhole covers and small brass handles shaped like keys. A long drawer is located at the bottom of the chest. The chest has a curved base with four legs featuring spiral turns. The legs are connected by two curved pieces of wood.
