The upper section features four wide glass doors with adjustable interior shelves, while the lower section consists of a credenza with dark-lacquered drawers and side compartments, equipped with original metal handles of an elegant sinuous design. Inside the door is the original circular metal plate stamped “Deutsche Werkstätten A.G.
