The serpent tails curl around the supports! The chest features the original large oval mirror and an accentuated bowed base with the original lovely, large, wooden ring pulls. A couple small age stains on the marble surface. The case is solid and tight. The feet are nicely shaped and carved with leaves on the front and back.
