An oak column cabinet with four doors: two smaller doors in the upper cabinet, each featuring a single, elaborately ornamented central panel, and two larger doors with double, centrally positioned panels in the base cabinet. The cabinet consists of three sections, namely a base cabinet containing a drawer and two doors, an upper cabinet containing two smaller doors, and a separate crowning section consisting of a tall frieze with a projecting cornice. The frieze is decorated with carvings of stylised foliage and a central representation of Lady Justice. 

The cabinet design appears inspired by Classic architecture. The front features six fluted columns with Corinthian capitals and richly carved bases, between which the panelled doors are set. The six carved panels on the doors each feature the motif of Lady Justice.

Behind the doors in the base cabinet is a centrally positioned shelf. The panels on the lower doors are separated by a richly decorated horizontal rail. The lower three columns stand upon a projecting, moulded rail borne by consoles in the form of lion masks. Between these three consoles are two drawers. The cabinet stands upon ball feet.
