Directly underneath is a corbel atop a full length fluted pilaster reeded with wheat motif separating the doors which are the primary visual focal point. The tops of the doors feature projecting acanthus plumes nestled atop boldly scrolled molding adorned with foliate sprays, forming the top framework for the upper door panels. Exquisite carvings of love birds appear on the center traverses the separate the upper from the lower door panels, positioned adjacent to the finely detailed steel key guards. The remainder of the design is quite tailored, with three raised & recessed panels on each side, and a straight base molding and legs.
