The bookcase has a cabinet lower section with two silk lined grille doors flanked by satinwood pilasters and with a white marble table section. Above, the bookcase has two banks of adjustable shelving flanked by satinwood pilasters and surmounted by a decorated cornice and an arched pediment with leaf-painted satinwood finials.

This rare bookcase is unusually shallow and of good quality. The craftsman has employed richly figured satinwood veneers and finely executed oak leaf and acorn decoration to the pediment.
