The front is decorated with a scene of workers with the name of each professions on it : locksmith, carpenter, blacksmith and joiner. This frieze is topped by a shelf in massif walnut and a hod with leafage in relief. The same tiles are framing the workers frieze.
The ceramic tiles are in shades of green-beige, very popular in around 1900.
