This pair of chests of drawers, of identical architectural structure, stands on four turned legs. Each of the chests of drawers consists of a closed body with three drawers defined by drawers. All of them have the same ornamentation based on the marquetry that defines the geometric design of each of the drawers. Each of the drawers has two oval handles at the ends, and in the centre there is a metal applique that serves as a lock. There are pilasters at the corners, the two chamfered fronts, carved with grooves and star-shaped medallions in gilt. The cabinet is topped by a continuous drawer on which rests a white marble top. The waist has a rectangular moulding.
