This imposing Neo-Renaissance cabinet is a superb example of the eclectic taste under the rule of Napoleon III. Richly sculpted, it reuses the essential elements of Renaissance ornamentation: cornice, frieze of figures and Bacchic mascarons, a body flanked by pilasters with grotesque motifs and cornucopias supported by dolphins. A rare feature is the sculpted shields on the lower doors, depicting hunting and fishing trophies. Neo-Gothic chimeras are nestled in the corners and appear to support the upper section. The base of the cabinet take the appearance of monsters crushed beneath the weight of the piece—a motif borrowed from the corbels of Gothic architecture.
