This box is distinguished by its superb original polychromy on a dark background (midnight blue/grey). The front is structured in three molded panels:

- The central panel frames the lock with two floral motifs in red and ochre.
The box has a flat, overhanging lid, painted in fir green and edged in bright red. Its compact dimensions (50 cm wide) make it a particularly easy-to-integrate piece of occasional furniture.

- Original lock with visible mechanism under the cover.
