Fiziksel açıklama
Carved pine and planewood door with brass and iron mounts. The decorated side consists of a lunette carved with rosettes in compartments formed by curved bands, and an upright oblong filled in with lozenges in rows, separated in zig-zags. In each lozenge is a metal disc. The oblong is surrounded by a moulded framework. The plain back is strengthened with three large battens, with moulded fronts. There are two staple hinges and a portion of a lock-plate in iron. The curved drop handle has a repoussé brass plate cut in the form of a cone above a lunette.
