Silver cabinet, Silver case whose face is dominated by turning, with all hurled mahogany colonets and pinnacles inlaid with an ivory piping, and furthermore with thin tracing, both on a background of mirrors and against a wooden ground, and because of the many complicated robel lists. The two halves of the cupboard lean slightly towards each other. The interior is veneered with various light, drawn woods and contains a number of surprises. There are secret drawers next to the drawers in the upper cupboard, and behind the central pillar swiveling away by means of a hidden mechanism conceals a whole series of drawers and compartments, some of them secret. The two upper drawers of the lower cabinet have fronts that fold forward and are arranged as small secretaries, behind which secret drawers, the bottom drawers can only be opened after small, hard-to-find pins have been removed. The fronts of the drawers in the interior are decorated with small-scale geometric marquetry. The furniture is marked in three places with artist's name and address (stamped)., Jan Adolf Hillebrand, Leeuwarden, 1844, oak (wood), mahogany (wood), satin, maple (wood), ivory, looking glasses, inlay (process), h 223.2 cm × w 126 cm × d 56 cm
